Thanks for watching, appreciate your support👍🏻

As always, a thorough, interesting behind the scenes look of a pro at work.

[@EdwardFPeters]

As always I am taking notes to bring up my game. Thanks Mark

Great video, You actually inspired me to start shooting sports rather than just travel and landscapes. Now I'm shooting MLS games locally but I'm trying to create content like this! Keep up the phenomenal work!

[@MarkKerton]

Ah that’s great to hear👍🏻 Would love to have a go at an MLS match! Thanks for watching👍🏻

[@NCRobo]

I'm at Elland Road(not with the cameras) this Wednesday buddy..

[@LunkerFishing]

Thanks Mark!

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching👍🏻

[@shawndonnelly862]

I shoot only high school sports (US) and I really enjoy your videos.

[@pascalkesselmark7529]

Thanks Mark. Your videos always help a lot. Especially the explanation of your settings.

[@braithwaiteo7]

Top as always Mark!

[@wilbignal]

Thanks for these videos Mark! Would you consider showing us at some point images of a the brief you are working to? Obviously redacted to keep personal and client details private.

[@leeparker7571]

Top job s always Mark. When you do a video about your goal cam, can you talk about exposure compensation as I know I struggled with that when I first started. Also, where did you get the ISDN line and splitter?

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Lee, appreciate that. I grabbed my cable and splitter from Amazon. Exposure wise I just set the remote up on AWB and just set a happy medium on the exposure, so I know I can adjust easy enough if needed later on in post👍🏻

[@dennismathieson1140]

Great stuff fantastic spectrum of shots . Keep up the good

[@debbiegould4548]

I watched this game, great to see some of your images. You mentioned recording a video about setting up behind goal camera etc, I would be really interested to know how to do this Mark, so look forward to seeing that 😀

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Debbie👍🏻 Hoping to get to a non league game or the like and make a dedicated remote video soon👍🏻

[@simonlonsdale8711]

I saw you at the game from the stands (season ticket holder) and was watching your routine pre game etc...great video as always :)

[@lukeWfeast143]

Hi mark, looking to get into sports photography more seriously and I was just wondering if you could do a video where you go over the software you use and the process for uploading photos to clients at the match

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Luke. I’ve filmed a pre match prep video this week, up tomorrow all being well👍🏻

[@precisionshootingstore]

Great video Mark, thanks. I noticed that the majority of the shots on this one were with a 400mm prime lens; do you ever find you really need to go above 400 much? I’ve got a 200-600 which is fantastic for a lot and while I’m learning but wonder if investing in a 400mm would be advantageous. Thanks bud 🤙🏻

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching. I’ve got the R5 on the 400 and that’s more than enough with the pull/crop I can achieve AND keep quality on the R5. It’s just the 2.8 factor I guess you miss on the 200-600?

[@precisionshootingstore]

@@MarkKerton thanks for replying bud… yeah the 2.8f is literally the missing key on it - just not fast enough if the light drops down. I’m still really early on in this venture so not got the top end kit just yet; and it’s about prioritising the right stuff at the moment. My Sony A7iii has enough megapixels but yeah it’s just about getting those correct lenses. Appreciate your time.

[@erod707]

F22? How do you determine how the sweet spot and avoid diffraction?

[@SteveMitchell-bt8ez]

On average how many shots do you submit after a game?

[@volvotje40]

Hallo Mark i need a bigger Camara bag witch on r you using (Brand name)

[@MarkKerton]

I’m using a Tenba Axis 30ltr back pack at the moment. Perfect size for all the little extra kit that sports requires👍🏻

[@aljphotography]

I have been taking motocross photos for a couple. Years and just started doing football and wanted to know, how many pictures do you take at a game? As I walk away with anywhere between 600 & 800 pictures, using D750 & Nikon 70-200 f2.8

[@pascalkesselmark7529]

With two bodies I shoot around 1500 pics a game. Since I mark all the keepers during the game, I ingest between 120 to 180 pictures into Photomechanic. And those will be culled down to about 60 to 80.

[@matejjustinic8061]

is it me or is whole video zoomed in a little bit?
