Re: Personal Cricket Photography!
It's cloudy at the moment and the weather's crap so don't worry. Savour the moment when you get the camera and hope there's some light!

Re: Personal Cricket Photography!
Second pin-hole camera attempt turned out way over-exposed, god damn it's hard to work out how long it should be left out for! I think it turned out way too over-exposed because it was directly facing the direction of the sun.
I'm slowly learning what my camera can do. I can make certain colours different colours and make the whole picture gray apart from 1 colour. It's great, I'll show you some of it later.

Re: Personal Cricket Photography!
Are you using colour photo-paper in your camera? That's pretty advanced if you are! Or are you using film?

Re: Personal Cricket Photography!
As the name of the forum suggests;Would love to see photos posted by each of the member's.
I would try to update this thread regularly with photos taken from my Mobile Camera as well.
Let us keep this thread alive by posting photos taken by our own mobile or digital camera.
Hopefully;Dave can post his comment on that

Re: Personal Cricket Photography!
You know Virender, I've always maintained that sports photography is difficult and requires specialist equipment e.g. longer lenses. A relatively short lens 400mm with a wide-ish aperture 2.8 would suit cricket but look at what you have to pay for one - http://www.campkinsonline.com/Produ...roogle/productID/694/groupID/11/categoryID/24
A few more - http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&q=Nikon+400mm+F2&um=1&ie=UTF-8
Anyway ignoring that and with nearly 20 years of photography behind me I thought I'd give it a go - not expecting much. Strewth they came out crap!
You can see some of them at www.mpafirsteleven.blogspot.com but don't hold your breath! The main problem is the light it's pretty poor here in the uk and you end up shooting too slow a shutter speed. Anyway I'm hoping 3rd time lucky - next time I'll have a 300mm lens and a big Muvva of a tripod - that part of it possibly sorted the next difficult bit is the timing. So far I've been okay to rubbish with this aspect of it, but I'm optimistic. We'll see what happens and if I get some good uns I may post them here.

Re: Personal Cricket Photography!
Check this one out - http://www.digitalrev.com/en/sigma-...dg-w-400-1000mm-f5-dot-6-attachment-3584.html
More realistic is this one - http://www.microglobe.co.uk/catalog...photo&osCsid=c216418088c05f7e4ffdd0d7f6e296af
But it's still going to struggle using 100 iso or 200 iso in anything but a blue sky sunny day. Sports photography is very specialist so all the pictures shot by "Stumped" using his little Canon lens have got to be highly commended - he's doing a lot better than I am so far!!!!
Stumped - I just looked at your pictures again. Mate - they are fantastic! How on earth did you get so close? You must have been shooting at a higher iso as well?

Re: Personal Cricket Photography!
sorry for the delay in replying! have been away! was hoping for some nice shots of the isle of wight! but the weather was pants.......
as previously said i only use a 200mm F5.6 lens. To be fair some of the shots were at a ground with a very short boundary! some have been cropped a little but not to much as my EOS 350D only had 8 mega pixels.
I have taken some more pics recently of some cricket i will try and post them when i get to work!

Re: Personal Cricket Photography!
I took some great photos Saturday evening at a women's only Glitz and Glamour evening in support of Breast Cancer. 300 women and the only men present were the waiters; the local cricket team. They started off topless [the waiters], just bow ties, collar and cuffs. The photos are of them doing the full monty. I didn't look
[honest]
I love cricketers... such sports

Re: Personal Cricket Photography!
Dave,
I have checked the links provided by you.
I was suggesting of taking pictures or videos from your personal mobile or digital camera.
I have a mobile camera with 2 mega-pixel capacity.
I will clicking some photos or videos from it covering the off-season training practice alongwith a handful of teammates.
I have attached a video captured in my mobile camera of my fellow teammate bowling his "Off spin".
Check it out and revert back with your advise.I will be using the same mobile camera for further photos & videos.
The camera details: Sony Ericsson's;Model no: W810i with 2 Mega-pixel capacity and 4x zoom.
