What camera should I buy for skateboarding?

January 31st, 2013 2 comments

I’m possibly attending Camp Woodward this summer and I’m trying to figure out which camera I should buy for their Video Production camp. We film for Action Sports (specifically skateboarding and BMX), so if anyone who is perhaps a former Woodward camper or skateboard edit filmer, please help me!!!!!
I want a camera that’s going to last me for a long time, and something with HD, and hopefully not used. I have a price limit of about $3,000, but I can make my budget fit around it.
Thanks.
Also, I’m not looking for a GoPro right now, but if you’d give me any advice about that, it’d help.

GoPro would be the way to go.

Whats a good wireless flash trigger set up for a Nikon D3100?

December 28th, 2012 3 comments

I do a lot of sports and action photography, specifically snowboarding and skateboarding. What is a good quality wireless flash trigger that will work with my Nikon D3100? I would like something compact and light weight to avoid any clutter in my backpack. Any suggestions and/or stores/links would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Amazon has a non OEM remote that has been rated highly & cost less than Nikon’s unit. Keep in mind the wire less function works only in line of sight.

my name is emily and i want to do a regular sport or an extreme sport or both as the question states. well i here is the list for norm sports: lacrosse, field hockey, and here is the list for extreme sports: motocross, skateboarding(apparently extreme), well yea so. suggestions will be welcomed. and if you need any answers lemme know! plz and thank you 🙂 also if you need a photo!

hey emily. The sport that would be totally cool for a girl to do would be skateboarding and motorcross. You already see girls doing field hockey and what not but not so much skateboard and do motorcross. I myself skateboard and love it. Been skating for almost 4 years this august. So i would go for motorcross/skateboarding. But remember there’s a price to pay when doing these sport. *HINT* bone crushing, skin splitting, and whatever else

125 – 150 depending on version and generation

How good is this camera and lens for action photography?

August 23rd, 2012 2 comments

I know youre going to say its not the camera its the photographer, but i need to make sure this shoots good for fast moving objects.

Im a beginner and i like action photography, like soccer, baseball and skateboarding. Is this a good camera to start off with?

Is this a good lens to begin with for sports?

I have a cousin that plays soccer, one that plays baseball and a good friend that plays football and i would like to start shooting for their games. Is that a good enough setup?(If you recommend a different lens at that price range or maybe just a little more expensive, let me know).

And these are the ones that i really want once i get a higher paying job.



Don’t know about football but I’ve shot plenty of soccer. The 55-200 will do but see if somehow you can’t find the money for the 55-300 or better yet, the 70-300

choosing the right lense for action sports?

August 12th, 2012 3 comments

hey, i just aquired a nikon f70 slr camera, I really enjoy it, but i want
to start taking some pics of snowboarding and in the spring skateboarding and mountain biking. right now the lense that is on my camera is a AF NIKKOR 28-70mm, is this good enough, any recommended lenses?

I just answered a similar question in the "camera" section on Yahoo! Answers. But for someone with a D80 and he was using his camera for his kids playing sports. Both are going to have alot of movement and action, so you want to capture the action in a still frame with out the blur.

If its for sports and action shots. A good one for that type of stuff with out breaking your budget is the

AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED

AF-S DX VR Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED

both are good for action shots and have fast AF so you can get the snap shots of snowboarders flying over you with out the blur.

Hey, What is the best 2 video/movie makers for $60 and under. Also they need to be compatible with youtube.?

July 15th, 2012 1 comment

If it helps the videos I am making will be mainly of skateboarding and other Action Sports.

Not quite $60 but close – get Adobe Premiere Elements 8. If you are in the US buy it from amazon.com with free super saver shipping. With a $20 rebate on now it comes to $61.49USD
