I have never asked! I've just ASS-UMED it was OK! It's my daughters club/team with kids from 3 th 18 years old. Performances are 2 1/2 minutes long and I hope for 5-10 good action photos of each of the three upper level teams. (Out of 200 to 300 shots.) When the girls hit their timing, I'm in the right spot AND I manage to get them in focus it is a good thing. I take 8 1/2 x 11's of the action ones to the club where the kids take them home or display them. I also give discs or email photos to the parents who want them. Most of the events have professional services take photos which are sold from websites where they can be viewed. Usually 8 x 10's run $10 to $25. Some events ban video taping or require the purchase of permits for cameras, which I buy. After a few competitions someone usually offers me a box of photo paper - so I figured it was fine. Aside from my poor "hit" ratio, do you think I could have a problem?
Thank you for your comprehensive - and interesting - reply. No, I very much doubt if you could "have a problem" - it's more than obvious that profit is certainly NOT your motive.
My earlier remark was prompted by a fatuous comment made some days ago on a completely innocuous picture entered by one of our senior members.
You have my sincere wishes that your successes will increase dramatically from the 10% you mention to a stratospheric figure.
You are obviously a master/mistress of timing. Very best wishesLearn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow - Gandhi
