Sports Photography.

  • Get in close to your subject, the closer you are the better the shot can be.
  • You need to have a good reaction time.
    • Sports events can be unpredictable.
    • The predictable things are fast and hard to catch.
    • you need to be right there at the peak of emotion.
  • Focus in on your subject.
    • you do not want a noisy or busy background
    • can distract from the main subject.
  • Be knowledgeable of:
    • the sport
    • the players
    • the coaches
    • their habits
    • the fans
      • because these can help create a variety of shots wtih different reactions that can demonstrate the emotion of the game/event.
  • Use the rule of thirds religiously.
  • Take vertical shots.
