The location where photographers position themselves to take
different pictures is directly responsible for capturing the relevant high points in a game. It also helps if you have a good knowledge of the sport. This ensures that you identify the right moments and are alert and ready when a memorable situation in sport. You can receive the proper immunizations, if you are able to move and use the location at different points in a game. However, very often the areas of movement are restricted for photographers and the best way to tide over this problem is to use a lens focal length in the region of 600 mm to allow shooting from one end of a court or the field. Despite a good location is usually described by the angle and distance of the track or field, the other aspect of a good location is also the play of light from their point of view. Most photographers have the task of avoiding shadows caused by light quality. The intensity of color in a picture is reduced in dull light conditions, while sunlight can create shadows in certain angles.
To minimize confusion and capture the action at a special game, you must have fast shutter speeds available. A 35 mm camera that is generally favored in sports photography can provide the required shutter speed for action shots. In addition to the shutter speed, the speed of the film also plays a role. Higher speed film enables faster shutter speeds. A film speed of 100 is inadequate in sports photography. Requires a speed film 400 and above.
The autofocus mechanism is also useful in
photography, especially when manual focus is difficult to achieve quickly in certain sports situations.
An interesting technique called scenario applied in capturing action scenes. Avoid holding the camera when shooting action. A rule of thumb is to keep the camera steady but move along the action instead of trying to hold still. This constant movement of the camera along the path of movement of the player; incredibly, has the effect of minimizing blurring. On the other hand, you get a blur if the camera remains fixed, while the action takes place. This technique is actually based on sound scientific principles.
We should also mention here that the art of sports photography actually goes beyond capturing action or high points in a game. Readers who see these photographs in newspapers and magazines want to see the expressions of the players, emotions, disappointments, the concentration showing the players is something that readers find captivating and becomes a conversation piece. Readers also like to see the crowd reactions and the reactions of the families of the players in certain critical situations in the game. To serve the public, a photographer must also try clicking on these special poignant moments during a game by capturing reactions and facial expressions.
