SportsVest Photography

I had a great Time photographing the sports out in Spain. Joe had a brilliant fisheye lens which i loved using. I have an old Yashica lens 28mm and im gong to see if its compatible with my digital SLR. He was telling me about The london camera exchange and I really want to have a look there and see if I can find myself a bargain.




With the events being in much better light or outside my images were so much better and I love the hockey shots especially. The sun was bright the sky was clear and the pitch was in great condition. I used the fisheye , the 200mm and teh 18-105mm to get a range of images that I'm really pleased with. It definietly shown what I am capable of and I do need to invest in more equipment, but now doesn't feel like the right time. I have thought about my degree show a lot an no one can say that my ideas have not developed!

I love taking photos and I need to keep that passion and drive and put it into the right project.Ive written a to do list too. I just need to make my way through it.


1. Email four photos and text to Sean
2. Decide which 5 swimmers to photograph
3. Contact them by making a letter stating what my aim is
4. Look through old negatives of swimmers
5. Go through kit to see if equipment works on digital camera
6. Check with Uni if they have Film SLR
