What equipment do you need to be a cricket photographer?
Well it's digital now you need a long lens for cricket because it all happens a long way away. The nearest person facing in your direction on a cricket field is probably 100 meters away. The batsmen have got helmets on you can't.. You need to get in close so you need good gear, a long lens, it's not cheap but there's some really good equipment out there now. With digital photography, obviously you need a laptop you need a computer of some sort. So you've got to have the means to shoot so all of your camera equipment then download then transmit depending on what you're doing with the pictures. But you need to have computer 3G the wi-fi at most grounds now you've got to be able to scratch with this stuff as well. That's the other problem if you have a problem with anything camera, computer, you've got know how to fix it on the spot get it working. Unless you're going to take spares of everything you can't do that so you got to be part photographer part sort of computer geek. Which wasn't the case previously with the old style photography now it is.
