Thank you all very much for your info - I appreciate it so much. I was actually contacted this week and asked for a price quote to shoot the rest of the season. Though it was flattering, I don't have the time this year, and I also would like more experience shooting football and a pro lens or 2 before committing to that. I have no feel for the flow of the game after only 1 time. <br>

<br>

Carl, you have a good point about picture quality. I did post some pics that I wouldn't care to print, but at that time I thought people would just be emailing to absent grandparents & sharing online - I didn't expect requests for prints. I'll be much more selective next game. <br>

<br>

I decided to attend what games I'm able for the remainder of the season, get more used to shooting football, sell at a very reasonable price what the parents like, and perhaps I'll be ready for something bigger next year. <br>

<br>

P.S. KL - what a great story! :)

Thanks for the reply. Your site looks great, and I think around 1/2 of what you are charging would probably be fair for me. <br>

This is just weekend & evening fun. I work F/T and my photography time is limited, but I can see how it would be frustrating to do this for a living. You're right - everyone has digital cameras now! <br>

<br>

I like your option to order digital files on CD (that would be a lot less work for me - haha!). You've given me some good info with which to start -- Thanks!! Terri

I've just shot my first high school football game (JV). I put small photos

(600 on the long side) online for the parents to share with friends and

family. Now I've had requests from a couple parents to purchase enlargements

on some of them. They are decent photos, but nothing professional at this

point. <br>

<br>

I love shooting sports, and it would be nice to someday make a little extra $$

doing it. What is a fair price range when just starting out though? I am

also thinking about printing them initially at someplace like Walmart or Costco

to keep costs down both for me and the parents. Not to be totally cheap, but

I recently enlarged a photo (8x10) for myself both at Walmart (for about $5 or

so), and at Bay Photo Lab (around $20). There was no significant difference to

my eye - only to my wallet. <br>

<br>

If anyone has done or is currently taking sports pics for parents, I'd

appreciate your thoughts. Thx :)
