M. Lee Media i would say that if you use auto iso, most the time use a spot metering not a wider one because you want the players to be right not the background. Also try not to shoot towards the sun if can avoid it and if you shoot jpg make sure to have a really accurate white ballance and exposure because the pictures might be hard to correct in post otherwice.

Whilst I'm an experienced (amateur) photographer, I have NEVER photographed any sports event. However, I have my very first (amateur) football match to photograph on Saturday. Bearing in mind that I'm not interested in, not have any knowledge of, football, and haven't played it since school over 50 years ago, this video (and your football video) have been absolutely invaluable in giving me some extremely helpful advice, guidance, and tips. So THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🙂

Great video for someone starting out in sports photography and a good refresher for someone that has shot for a while. I'm going to go back to single point focus. One suggestion that I would have, which is my biggest weakness, (I shoot soccer) is don't stop when you think the play is over. I've been burned so many times and I end up watching a great play. Just the other day. On a penalty kick the goalie stops the shot and of course I get caught looking as another player comes in and scores on the rebound. Again, great tips!!

A hearty thank you. This may be the best (and most concise) how-to-shoot sports video I've seen. I'm always looking for something I've overlooked, and your back-button focusing tip did it for me this time. My frustration in shooting futbol is that my grandson plays center back and usually is on the far side of the field (by the benches) which is off limits to spectators/family photographers. This means that my shots and/or focus often gets blocked or changed by bodies in between the action. I guess the answer is to be more aggressive and make them tell me to move. Shooting from the stands or against a fence is frustration. Your "angles" tip is another winner. Get on the sidelines and on the ground (just don't let the sideline official block your good shots).

I really enjoyed your video. It's an excellent refresher and I got some very good tips. If you're sited on the side of the court or race track, I recommend practicing panning techniques. Specially in motor sports they became very useful. One more thing, long glass is really important, and fast glass, even more. Even when I own good lenses (Canon L), they all are f/4. Sometimes I find them too slow under low light situations. If you can afford them, go for f/2.8. Not only faster, but you'll get better subject isolation. Just my penny

Brilliant video! On the single point focus tip - I shoot basketball mainly - where do you recommend I place that point when tracking players. Should that point be on the face or somewhere else more contrasty e.g. the chest area of the jersey? Thanks!
@MLeeMedia
@MLeeMedia 5 жыл бұрын
Glad you liked the video Donald. I'd aim for the chest, as it should be in the same focus plane as the head, unless you are using an insanely wide aperture like 1.2 or similar, then aim for the head, you'll want the eyes in focus. But that's getting into detail. Generally speaking I'd place the point on the chest, as the area is bigger than the head, and as such, easier to keep up with.

@MLeeMedia
@MLeeMedia 3 жыл бұрын
If you're taking pictures in poorly lit conditions, they you want a fast lens (one where the aperture has a lower value, like 1.8, 2.8, etc, to let in more light). The reach depends on what type of picture you want to take, but it's the aperture that will matter most in that case.

JA_NPH you own the pictures if you have not made any other agreements. Other professional photographers may ask for whom you are photographing for and at larger events you will probably not get that much help from other photographers due to competition and lack of time. From my experience people are nice but not very social. Sports photography are not a well paid job and the other photographers are competitors... :-)

You can shoot great pictures at any aperture. Different apertures will give you different results, it depends on what you're after. Keep in mind that aperture is only 1 factor in your picture, shutter speed, ISO, etc will affect the end result too. As for the camera, it's a fine camera, but I'm not well versed into the Sony ecosystem, but I'm sure you can find plenty of great channels out there. One I recommend is camerarecToby, search him on KZfaq, he's a Sony shooter, but has shot all sorts during many years. Tons of info on his channel too, just not sports photography.
