Photographing The Darts - Sports Photography
Join me as I look through my image set from the Premier League Darts, the fourth round, held at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle.
Obviously football photography is my mane sport to photograph, so it was great to photograph the Darts again. I last photographed Darts back in 2018 at the PDC World Championships held at Ally Pally in London. It took my by surprise just how much quicker Premier League Darts was compared to the PDC World Darts Championships. At the World Championships, the players throw in legs and sets, taking around an hour to complete on average. The Premier League Darts is much quicker, with each match being first to 6 legs, and therefor only taking 15-30 minutes each match. This meant that I had much less time to capture all the images needed for each player! World Champion Luke Humphries, Rob Cross, Luke Littler, Peter Wright,
A good challenge though and I can't wait to photograph more darts soon.

I forgot my R3 would do the multi-exposure; thanks for reminding me. Fastpitch season started this past week, and I am going to try some of those shots for pitchers and batters. It will be a cool effect with the bright green softball in the frame.

I'm not keen on the head/body movement in the multi-exposure image but I do really like the arm movement on the first image (the up stoke). I think the crop of the arm works on it's own especially as the tattoo gives the identity of the player.

Nice the motion of the throwing darts

Darts is one of those sports that would be great to shoot - any time where you know exactly where the action will take place, it's so much easier to make sure you get everything you need!

@grahamfield1570 5 ай бұрын

I think the multi exposure frame works, but could be significantly improved by shooting at the same level as the player.

Thanks Graham. Unfortunately, we’re set lower than the players in our little pen!

Mark, something is missing to my taste : to see players and their darts on the target. By the way, I am glad you picked an R5. I would chose the R5 over the R3 every day. Don't get me wrong, R3 is great but R5 is the way to go for Wildlife.

Great 4 frame or so shot of the arm movement. Football wise. I went to a local ground and slightly underwater where the ground is dryer. Other parts of the pitch wetter, so a great chance of game off Southern League. Pitch inspection 9am for conformations. Other games in my area look like being called off. Brockenhurst vs Fareham Town, pitch inspection hopefully early, and Fareham only played 20 games all season with a 38 game season to finish around 20th April will not want anymore games off. Until the 20th Feb New Milton Town had not won a single game, and the past 2 games won, one home and one away in the Wessex League 1, 10th tier, so this may be worth a punt for pictures.

Great stuff, I’ve found the R3 is better in low light over the R5, what’s your thought so far? R5 great on the pull ins tho as you have said before when pitch side / 🍻
