Is the background cluttered? See if you can safely move to another position where you can compose an image that isn’t full of distractions.
In soccer, the most important action usually happens near the goal.ĬOMPOSITION: Think about your composition.
In baseball, action in the infield (catching, throwing, plays at bases and home plate) usually make the best pictures. The best photos are taken at the peak action this would be right as the basketball player jumps up to make a basket, just before a volleyball serve or when the cheerleaders have completed a pyramid. Even the pros practice shooting at the beginning of a season to hone their sense of anticipation of the action of the game. The more you shoot, the better your timing will become. Once you begin photographing a particular sporting event, you’ll begin to realize that each sport brings its own sense of timing of the action. That will put you closer to the action and at the players’ eye-level. If possible, leave the stands and go to the sidelines. With amateur events, you can often move around and try different spots. Sometimes the top of the bleachers is the best place to shoot from, for that high angle, looking down on the court (especially good for volleyball). In some sports, you can catch the action coming at you, if you’re positioned correctly. Think about where most of the action occurs in the sport you’re photographing. Regardless of the sport, you can do several things to make the best pictures possible.įirst, think about where you want to position yourself. Perhaps your child is in a soccer program, a friend's kid is on a school softball team, a nephew in high school competes in track, or you're taking your camera to a professional event. Almost all of us have times when we need, or want, to shoot a sporting event.
