Well done Real Deal, some good pictures there. I am hoping to do a bit of this myself - probably after Christmas. Only as a hobby really, well initially anyway. Do you mind me asking what camera & lens you use for these? I assume you are right at the ring for them - what would it be like to sit somewhere like the balcony in the York Hall with a telephoto? Would the lighting be good enough to get some decent pictures? Will have to go along to one of the quieter nights there to do a bit of experimenting with it.

thanks guys i use a canon 1d mark 2 n and canon ef 24-70 lense.

start small work to bigger, try to find a boxing news site to work for. maybe a none tv show to start off with. press officers dont usually let free lancers in. york hall top balconey seems a good place to shoot pics.
