For once the boot's on the other foot for me ... I'm looking for suitable images.
I've written a book on photography, which is due to be published in the UK later this year, and I'm trying to illustrate it with as many photos of my own as possible.
But I can't cover everything. So I'm looking for images to illustrate certain techniques.
At the moment I'm on the sports photography chapter and I need:
1) A photo of amateurs playing a sport, any sport. That doesn't mean to say that they must be doing ridiculous things, but they must clearly be amateurs. So, a shot of footballers in a packed stadium just won't work.
2) Two images of some high-speed sport (e.g. motor/motorcycle/horse racing) one using a low shutter speed and panning to give motion blur, the other at a high shutter speed to freeze action. Must be the same sport for both.
3) Players or spectators showing some sort of emotion - anger, joy, frustration, etc.
4) An alternative sports image, strong graphically - track markings, equipment, seats in a stadium or similar
5) An image of an offbeat sport - tiddelywinks, cheese-rolling, bog-snorkelling, dwile flonking, whatever.
If anyone on the forum's got anything suitable let me know. I'd like to give first chance to fellow microstock groupies (and it saves me searching endlessly
).
The publisher has an account with Fotolia, so it would be simplest if stuff is with them. But I may be able to persuade them to use another agency or even go private if the image is right.
