    I think a few interested people should get involved in some sort of debate about this, maybe not in public!

    Totally agree.

    Either by PMs or else direct emails between the concerned parties.

    Are beginners allowed? I am really new to Sports photography but would love to learn!

    As the following photos prove, the first thing to do is get a fast lens. I brought my trusty Pentax MZ 50 to an indoor soccer match and did not use flash as I did not want to disturb the players.

    Fortunately the film was Portra VC, so I managed to get some sense of colour, but the low light proved too much of a challenge.

    Steep learning curve...

    Have to say it is a very good idea that has been put forward here and I would say that there are lots of people here that have the skills needed (not just photography !) to make it happen. I know I am only new to boards but if any help is needed just throw me a PM.

    I'd prefer something less ambiguous, and more sport aligned. Wouldn't want to be found in the wrong search catagory online.

    SPAI - Sports Photography Agency of Ireland :D

    SPI exists in different forms - spi.com and spi.ie (not related at all).

    The hard part is finding a company name and domain name that could work together.

    I wish. It's more likely that any decent profits would take a good while. Damn economy and recession. :mad:

    I've put together a little mailing list, for those seriously interested. So, PM me your email address if you want to join the discussion.

    Guys -

    I really shouldn't post this here but I'm kinda in the final stages of having this local sports agency thing running (need more work on the website development side - which could take 4-6weeks) ....I have contacted several web development companies in Ireland and they have given quotes of €3,000 - €5,000....online quotes are €2,000 - €4,000.

    I have the concept/website/legal aspect all worked out (I have been working on this and several other ideas which I was hoping to link together for the last 2-3 years)

    if people can be patient (or if they want to help) I will get a website up and running together with a national launch which will involve at least two newspapers doing a feature.

    So in short - if people want to get involved/help me in getting it running faster drop me a PM - or know people in the web development side that could do this fast then let them know I'm looking.

    Sending those that I know interested an Email.
