Some great tips there, couldn’t agree more with knowing your gear inside out. After 15+ years of shooting, I would summarize it to, know your sport and equipment, don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Like an athlete, go low, go high, in tight, out wide. Think how you best combine the athlete, the sport/equipment and the environment they are in, all into one shot. Their body position is one of the most important aspects to creating a dynamic shot. Try to think like the athlete and be a step ahead of them and be ready for that killer shot. And most importantly have fun and it’s ok to spray and pray sometimes. If you want to go shot some fun downhill mountain biking this summer drop me message.
Newbie here- mom wanting to move up into the youth sports photography as our kids play soccer, rugby and wrestles. Learning basic and what I’ve learned and correct me if I’m wrong is go mirrorless and a shutter peed of at least 10fps along with full frame? I am looking at canon kits with the potential of buying an additional lens. I would like to stay around $1000- A few I have looked at are : Rebel T7 not mirrorless though, Canon R50 or R10 idk!! I am looking at the kits etc. I would also like to take close ups for team photos etc.
I would propably of thos choose the R50 with the 12-15fps possibility! Full frame is not needed, but good if it is. APS-C cameras has a form factor of about 1.5x so you basicly get way closer with that. This means ie. that a 100mm lens would actually be 150mm ! I would go with the R50 with the kit lens and then buy a zoom lens for example 70-200 or something like that :)
I mostly shot weddings and concerts, but never sports.... if I use a 1DX-i and a 70-200 2.8 for sports, do you recomend shooting with a 2x extender, or is it better to shoot clean lens and crop instead do you think?
Sorry Pal. Most people just starting off are reviewing these videos to pick up some tips on shooting sports. Mostly for their kids sports. They not going to use two cameras or carry a second camera with them.
Sure they will. They have their phone. His point is try getting use to different lenses. Or getting different angles. I rented a lens and a camera but I did the opposite. I focused more on the new camera. My regular camera I hated how it looked especially with a smaller lens.
It depends on the league. Lower divisions you propably wont need any permission, but it alleays good to let the home tesm know. Higher levels of competition you'll need accreditation

Just watched this even as a sports photographer 1 1/2 years in, it's a crazy genre to be involved in, but I love it! Sub'd and will watch more.
Cheers mate! 🙏🏻 yepp I do still watch these all the time since you never know what another creator thinks!
Thanks for sharing your photography knowledge judt brilliant
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! ❤
My pleasure ❤️
What lenses do you suggest for sailing and regatta photography if i shoot the ships from a boat?
Propably the 70-200 f2.8 or similar! Could even need longer!
@@KimiElias Thank you! The problem is I cannot really find lens with this specs for my APSC Fujifilm. Do you have any suggestion?
Thank you so much for the tips❤
great content!! thank you
Would you recommend auto focus or manual for sport’s photography?
autofocus everyday. Except if you are a Manual master.. I use centerfixed autofocus 99% of the time!
I mostly shot weddings and concerts, but never sports.... if I use a 1DX-i and a 70-200 2.8 for sports, do you recomend shooting with a 2x extender, or is it better to shoot clean lens and crop instead do you think?
It really depends on the sport.. what would you shoot?
@@KimiElias was thinking of going in and shoot local levels...soccer, skateboard, swimming, car racing and potentially even some indoor sports.
for sports photography, do you recommend using aps-c or full frame camera?
Both are great! Aps-c gives you a bit more focal lenght which could be in your favour 🙏🏻
Dude, I'm playing floorball
I just shot a floorball event yesterday bro
Nice! How did it go 🔥
70-200 would be ok for basketball, but for football or something like swimming that’s not enough reach for me 😅
It's enough for me with Sony’s Super 35 mode (professional photojournalist)
cheers 😎🤙

So in new to this...if i want to shoot photos for a football game do i just walk on the field or do i need to have permission?
It depends on the league. Lower divisions you propably wont need any permission, but it alleays good to let the home tesm know. Higher levels of competition you'll need accreditation
