Hey Pat,
I was looking at your posts, you have access to the infields too but in some of your posts, you mentioned restricted access.
I would assume that other parents know that you are taking pictures at the games, have the other parents seen your work? Personally, I feel that these mindless concerns of taking pictures of their kids at sporting events and possibly kicking up a big fuss and all that. It's these things that is making this country going gay very very fast - IMHO
anyway, show them your work, of your child and theirs, maybe do a meeting before the game, or do a little write up and hand a printed copy to the parents at the game.
As for field access, just do it, inch into the spots that you feel will give you the best angle AND AT THE SAME TIME, STAYING AWAY FROM DANGER.
My way is the "wrong" way of approaching things, many would say, but my character is such that I care more about results then the process.
I just showed up and did it, I post my images on facebook (popular among college kids) and the players saw the images, and probably showed them to the coaches and so, people know what I do and they let me do what I do.
I didn't ask for any permission or jump through the hoops to do all that, I just put myself out there and see where it leads me.
I'm still working on fine tuning of the placement of the watermarks, I put the images on facebook as well, so to prevent theft, namely from my college's Athletics department, and the possibilty of that whatever Orphan image Act... etc, I had to go with watermarks...
i value the facial expressions alot too, that's why till date, I'm not at all excited at getting that BOB shots
