That was easily the best YT tutorial on Basketball photography. Super informative and comprehensive! A question I had though was with regards to file sizes.. Do you shoot full size raw, JPG or a combination? Would shooting in JPG compromise your post edits if the images were used purely for socials?
@byuphoto Жыл бұрын
Gro, great questions! Thanks for asking, and glad you enjoyed the video! We shoot C-RAW+JPG (we noticed there is not any noticeable difference with compressed and full RAW images, so we switched to save space on our server). The JPG is sent via wifi to our website during game and we use the RAWs to make full edits after. If it is just being used for social posts, the JPG is fine, but for me personally when I am making edits, I would much rather play in a sandbox (or pixel box) that is 4 feet deep rather than 4 inches deep. That is why I always edit the RAW. I am also thinking long term archive purposes. I would rather keep the negative over the print. But honestly, it is all relative to what the job requires. We just need to make informed decisions on what would be best for our individual circumstances with also thinking of the future. I hope that helps.

I could use the R5 but it is not really a sports shooting camera. That being said, I haven't tried using the R5 as a remote yet for shooting sports, but I for sure do not like using the R5 for regular game action. The focus isn't fast enough.

Ive been shooting HS round-ball, but woah, this ... blew ... me ... away! Liked your comment about telling the story. Ive learned that every good action scene has two shots: The action and the reaction. It's easy to get focused on perfectly catching the action, and then tip your camera down when you should be searching the floor for the reaction. Your feed to social media process is impressive. Questions about that: 1) Does your team compress the JPEGs first (like you would for facebook) or do you just post a big file. 2) Where can I learn about creating the path from camera wifi to web? 3) How do fans learn about your photo delivery access point? 4) Do the fans that check this tend to be at home or in the stands? 5) How many views touch this?

So glad the video was helpful and thanks for watching!. To answer your questions: 1) we do not compress the JPG.

Michael glad it was helpful! Great question. That would have been a good bit of info to put in the video! Honestly that depends on how good you are with timing. If you are using strobes, you really only get one shot before you have to let the lights recycle. But if not using strobes, the minimum would probably be around 12fps. The R3 shoots at 30fps which is absolutely crazy. Just remember, the more frames you shoot, the longer you spend in post processing. 30fps is nice, but you pay for it after the game.

Fantastic tutorial! I'm still a hobbyist and shoot mostly high school sports, and I'm fortunate enough to also have an R3, R6-II, RF glass (24-70 and a 70-200 2.8), so this is super relevant to me. I'm curious that you shoot basketball in landscape, as I almost always shoot in portrait. I see you also don't use lens hoods (except for the remote under the goal)....seems more convenient, but conventional wisdom says I should use them...thoughts? My biggest challenge is that I always stop shooting too soon and miss the celebrations, even though I tell myself to not stop so soon. I just forget until it's too late. Lastly, also wonder if your R3s ever fail to wake up after they go to sleep? Sometimes mine takes up to 10 seconds to wake up, during which time I miss a lot of stuff. I can't find an 'always on' feature for the evf.
@byuphoto Жыл бұрын
That is quite a kit for a hobbyist! Good questions. Lens hoods for me do 2 things: help minimize flare from the sun and help protect my lens from hitting sharp corners or objects. Neither of them is really necessary in this situation. I do use a hood for my remote in this video, but I don't typically. If you do use a lens hood for basketball, I would recommend a rubber one. That way if an athlete runs into you, it wont cut them if they hit your lens. Also I have lost lens hoods in crowds when they storm the court. I typically shoot landscape because i like to include a lot of the environment. If i am just trying to get isolated shots of the players, vertical is a better way to go. The file sizes are large enough here that I will just crop them if necessary. You dont have enough time during a game do decide if you want a dunk vertical or horizontal. You will miss it just thinking about it. There will be sections of the game where i will just shoot vertical, or just shoot horizontal. And i do not have a problem with the R3 going to sleep. You do have a power saving option in your menu where you can set the dimmer, screen power off, auto power off, and viewfinder off times. that may help with your problem. I hope that helps and good luck!

An absolute pleasure of a video and thanks for putting it together. I’ve missed a dunk at my last game (shooting from the stands and as you say, just learn from it). I think this is the most complete KZfaq video I have seen and a sport close to my heart. Some top tips too and it’s good to know my shot selection is spot on also. I’m using my R7, do you switch to one shot, slower shutter speeds and iso (say set on a custom mode or button in your R3 body) for the time outs to capture the surrounds and bench, I do and find it works for me. In fact I might store the portrait setting on C3 since I rotate the dial incorrectly sometimes from off fast sports C2. I had the pleasure of using the 28-70/2 with an R5, it’s fantastic, I’d love to have it along with an R3. 1st time watcher and subscribed!

Ha thanks David! Glad it was appreciated. Our process really depends on how old the photo is. We have a film archive that we can pull from, and that is mainly looking through slides (or having the client come in and look through slides) and negatives during the seasons the specific athlete played. We can check their stats to see what games they played in to narrow down our search. Or if it is in the digital age, we have all of those images on hard drives and on our server. Our graphic design team also does a great job at creating folders of best images of individual athletes. There are also new technologies that use AI to automatically tag your images with the athletes name, etc that is added into the metadata. We tried one out for our PhotoShelter site during the NCAA men's basketball tournament a couple years ago that was pretty impressive. stories.photoshelter.com/march-madness-photoshelter-ai/

100% YES this video was helpful as are all of the BYU videos. While watching this video, I started to get the feeling of " I can't wait to photograph the next game". I am working on remote shooting on high school level in basketball as I've done in baseball. I have the equipment with pocket wizards etc and have the permission of the AD however my problem is where to mount the remote camera. The nets and backboards at our school swing down into position from the ceiling so there is no base on the floor in which to place a camera. The school yearbook photographer said he would help me go to the gym when there isn't anyone around, lower the nets to playing position , get a 12 foot ladder and mount the camera, using that black foil material and tape, and of course my Majic arms and safety cables, check focus. I really like the idea of the "cutout" in the cushion you demonstrated in this video. Where would I check to purchase these cushions for my school which I can place on the gym floor and against the wall behind the net. I would donate the cost to our local high school ( if not out of my ability ). The school has been so helpful in allowing me access to games and events. Anyone with an idea, please chime in. thanks to the BYU staff for producing these videos. Ted in Sebastian, Florida

I'm not sure where you would purchase cushions just to put against the wall. Sometimes when I am sitting on the baseline, I just put the remote camera next to me wherever I am sitting. That way I have a wide and a tight shot.

I'd probably turn that blurry dunk image into a 90's disposable camera kind of feel. I think it'd look pretty cool.

Great detailed tutorial! I noticed you are mainly shooting in a landscape orientation. Do you ever shoot portrait to avoid losing the player/ball in the shot? Or is it too hard to switch between as the action is happening?
@byuphoto Жыл бұрын
Andrew thanks for the question. There are for sure times I switch to vertical, but I mostly shoot horizontal. I don't switch during plays because its too hard to react fast enough, so I mostly just make the switch and focus on shooting vertical for a period of time. I do the same with using different lenses. When I am shooting offense, I just choose what lens I am shooting for a period of time instead of trying to switch cameras because they are going up for a layup or shooting a 3. It's just too hard to switch fast enough in the moment.

Definitely learned a lot from this video. But we all aren't blessed with an R3 to shoot with. Maybe a general focus mode discussion is in order. Some cameras that have eye AF aren't as good as the R3 for basketball. I used single spot center as my mode of choise since eye AF was just jumping all over the place.
@byuphoto Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the suggestion. Yes using a spot focus in the center is a great way to start. That would have been a nice addition to the video. That is safe and you can always crop it later to get your composition better. Before I used the R3 I would still move my focus point around depending on which side of the court I was on and where the plays were happening so it forced me to compose my image in the 3rd rather than the center. Hopefully this video will be helpful in the future when most cameras will have a decent eye AF.
