Best way to capture sports photography?

July 9th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

Tomorrow I am going to stroll down to the skatepark.

I am going to take my camera with me and hopefully get some action shots.

Any tips and advice on this?

Its going to be skateboarders, bmxers and roller bladers.

I like to pre-focus, keep high shutter speeds, use wide angles and keep the aperture as small as possible for long DOF for that kind of sports.

Keep in mind the 1/lens focal length shutter speed rule and then times that by at least 3 for action.

    Make sure you have good lighting, if not then bring a flash.

    You will need a fast shutter speed so either set it manually if you can, or set your camera mode to "action" or "sports" or something similar.

    Fast shutter speed. 1/640 or faster if your goal is to stop the action.
