James Prickett

James Prickett is a football photographer who unlike most of the other photographers he specialises in women's football most of his don't focus around bigger clubs like Andrew Waller who takes pictures of Watford LFC who play in the second division of English women's football expect the bottom photo he very rarely does this.

This photograph shows a player who looks like she is about to score a goal. This photo I love mainly because it shows the goal being scored. This photo was likely taken at a high shutter speed due to high speed of the movement of the action. I would say the speed would have to be at least 1/600 of a second to be able to capture this image. It may not have been taken at this speed but regardless it is still a truly brilliant photograph.

 This photo shows two players battling for the ball. This image shows off all that can happen during a football match the picture has been taken at almost the perfect time. I think that this would have taken at around 1/750 due to the likely high speed of the action but at this point the players would have slowed down at this point to make the tackle but at the speed of this the photographer wouldn't have had time to change their shutter speed on the camera. This is still a really good photo but if the photographer had the settings on auto the shutter speed would not have been at the correct speed to get the correct sort of speed.

This photo like the one above shows a tackle being made like the one above but this photo has been taken just before the tackle is being made. Because of the angle of the players if this photograph had been taken had it been taken when the tackle was actually made this photo wouldn't actually be very good at all as the legs of the player making the challenge would been in the way of the ball and it would be seen. But this is a really brilliant photograph. I have seen a lot of photographs of players making tackles and I have tried to take a lot of good ones myself and this is one of the best.
