Helpful Steps In Becoming A Sports Photographer

By Cynthia Barnes


People love to take photos in capturing moments such as the time their loved ones play in a sports event in Calgary City. Being able to photograph these moments is more difficult though because games have normally fast paced actions. But if properly done then you would be having a picture you want to keep and share with others.

Some people have a tendency to hire professionals because of the difficulty of capturing the perfect moment during the game. But it is expensive to do so and doing it every sporting event where your child participates is expensive. You can learn how to become a good sport photographer Calgary by following these helpful guides.

Use high ISO when shooting at a higher speed that helps stop motion so you can have the chance of getting a perfect shot. This is easy during the day but when it is nighttime, a faster F Stop is needed which your lens may not be suitable for. Increasing the ISO more is one way to compromise with this so your camera could see more light.

Try different set ups and angles in every event you go so you can get different results compared to your previous shoots. Allow your creativity to flow and look for new ideas in approaching it by using new angles, shooting locations and backgrounds. This will help you to capture something which no one else took adding to the uniqueness of your pictures.

Prepare something where you can put your equipment that allows you quickly change lenses and other things when needed. This could either be a photo vest, belt system or fanny pack which most photographers use in carrying what they need. This would be dependent on your preference and how comfortable you are when wearing it.

Find a great lens which you can use considering that the heavier, longer and bigger ones are better but are likely more expensive. Purchase one according to the considerations that you could afford from brands which professionals trust for a very long time. Check if the lens have a tripod which helps when using it due to its size.

Chimping is looking at the camera LCD after every shot taken for you to check them which is not advisable in photographing sports. The reason is that your attention would be taken off from the action and a good shot opportunity would be missed or you could get hurt. There is always a place and a time to review pictures.

Using slow shutter speed is possible when a blurry background is what you want compared with the higher shutter speed previously mentioned which helps stop motion. This technique adds to the picture some energy and a clean background is created. The subject is sharped and focused while its blurry background provides great effect.

Flash photography is prohibited when shooting sports so avoid using them because it distracts the players. This is usually the case in outdoor sports but some indoor ones allowed this. Though this is dependent on the event with the lower level ones usually allowing the use of flash.
