    Shoot a lot and shoot often - guys I use to hang out with in the photographers' moat area, used to shout full auto - dropping crummy captures after the fact. Was not unusual for them to shoot thousands of images (all raw) a day. Shoot with the fastest lens you can afford - and resign yourself to the reality that you will see an awful lot of red in your images (must be a cheapest gel available). If you shoot with a flash be prepared for someone to say "amateur" and "thanks for fucking up my shot". Remember to duck and get out of other photographers working - for some of them it is work after-all.

    Good luck - remember that you are still a fan and that occasionally coming up from the being behind the camera is a good thing.
