Thank you for the critique of my photo (football catch at the Notre Dame stadium). I struggled with keeping the shot wide but also kept another cropped version as well.
For what it's worth I disagree with their comments on cropping the photo. The problem I have with sports photography is everyone is quick to crop and remove the artistic element of the photo. There is nothing wrong with negative space and context matters. There is a legitimate backlash happening in the industry where people are tired of seeing the same shots over and over, so their critique to you was literally old men yelling at clouds. Your photo would be an awesome full width image to start an online piece or even work well for a designer to put type in if it was being used in broadcast. Your photo was my fav in this series btw!
I would have kept the goalposts in and kept more sky, players in the centre.
@@Vaznis isn't negative space good for type also? Advertisement etc.. these guys work at a magazine? Worked I should say.. maybe their old ideas are no longer en Vogue.. super tight cropping is not artistic or cinematic and the best artistic photos are cinematic. But I did like hearing his comments on what the magazine was looking for and why.
Thank you for the critique of my photo of the College Pitcher. I always appreciate cropping feedback. As always Peter, your video's are very educational.
I love this series so much.
Great video! Thank you ! Finally someone gives us constructive and knowledge based critique without focusing on camera model/settings all the time. Awesome!
Excellent! This is so missing in sports photography...what makes a good picture and how to crop. Need more of this. Thanks!
On the last photo at the 18:00 minute mark, my inclination would have been not to crop it. I like that it follows the rule of thirds and the defenders on the ground watching the rusher go by told a better story.
That was terrific guys! Thanks!
Always Alway great to sit and listen to either Peter and/or Steve, the amount of information shared in this 19 minutes is PRICELESS! Take it from me, a three time attendee of Peter's Workshops, game changing experiences!
I second that 100 %
I've been watching your critique videos on my commutes to and from work. I'm still very junior as far as sports go, but this is an extremely effective way of teaching. Thought I'd be going back to my own pics and hating them all, but if anything I've been finding more to appreciate about the one's I've overlooked and am figuring out ways to improve the one's that I've flagged as aesthetic. I look forward to trying again with this knowledge. Thank you for the educational videos!
My new favorite channel..... Please more.....
Great chance to hear and see gentlemen at work!
Great job, I really enjoyed the critique and soaked in the advice like "can't crop a sports photo too much" and "the eyes go to the eyes". I subscribed......
How does one send photos for critique?
first time watching your videos, I really like this theme enjoy it learn a lot form watching this critique more than watching how to take photos. cooool.
This is great, want more
What a great channel !
Thank you Peter and Steve for the feedback!
Great segment!
Great video Peter!
When cropping, I tend to crop it with the standard ratio of 4:6, 5:7 for possible printing purpose (and display purposes on mobile devices). Many times, these end up with lots of negative spaces. Do you guys have recommendations for better crops in this case? Learning a lot from your show. Thanks!
fantastic video a big thumbs up
The gymnast photo with the bent leg at 2:30 ... that’s actually perfect form of a switch ring leap. Love these critiques. I’m a mom that likes to take action photos of my kids and one of them is a gymnast. I am still trying to figure it out. I’ve been shooting with the Nikon D7000 with a 70-200mm f2.8. The poor lighting is my biggest struggle.
FYI, normally you are correct about gymnasts needing good form in order to make a good gymnastics photo, but she's performing a ring leap in which that leg is supposed to be bent. It is actually not bent enough which is why it might appear to be bad form rather than the skill.
Thanks for this insight Peter. Can you do a video on basketball photography?
You guys can be tough. I can see I need to be harder on myself in action shots. Thank you.
Good deal Andy that is the key, if one could be the toughest critic to oneself!
Thanks you Peter and Steve! Great tips! How can I submit a couple of my pictures for review?
It seems you were croping without regard to aspect ratio. Is this normal? Also, i noticed when you did crop you left VERY little below feet or above heads. Is this also normal?
Didn't even critique pictures where parts of abody were chopped. These guys are just crop fanatics.
You should change stream name to Crop Yours Sports Photography 🙃
Do all sports pictures have to be cropped or centered?
No. That's old fashioned. We're innundated with images these days, so it needs to be something dufferent. Everyone knows the "subject" allready, to tears. We need story and emotion.
I disagree with the assessment of the photo of the N.O. Saints player. My eye bounces back and forth from the player to the helmet highlight on the right edge of frame. I think it would be stronger with that cropped out or burned down.
"No sports photo can't be improved by notbcropping". IMMEDIATELY critisises a too tight crop....
Ridiculous comments on many of the photos. 1. It's a bad picture because the gymnasts leg is bent. Really? 2. Finding flaws in the sking photo? really? They are critiqueing photos with the eye that these will appear in SI. Sorry I think you are being unrealistic
Well. Know your audience, but also know your performers...
