- In order to become a great sports photographer - or any photographer for that matter - you have to learn and master the basics. So let's start with Sports Photography 101, and give you a brief tutorial on how shutter speed, ISO, and aperture all work together to form the exposure triangle and create the perfect exposure.
ABOUT ME:
I currently work as the director of photography and content of a national newspaper. You've likely seen my work in many publications including but not limited to the New York Times, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated.
On this channel, I want to pass along tips and tricks that I have gained in my experience as a professional photographer and photo editor working in the highest level of athletic competition. I know not everybody has access to the latest and greatest gear, nor does everybody have the best field or event level access, but that's ok! By understanding how to get the most out of your gear, and understanding best practices in photography and photo editing, I can show you how to take your sports photography - or any photography for that matter - to another level.

**UPDATE** 4:55, the lower the ISO, the LESS sensitive your sensor is to recording light!
This was helpful thank you
Listing what settings you use in common sports situations would be of great help
@cheers jeers, that is an excellent suggestion. I do touch on a good starting set of settings in this video: ruclips.net/video/fUo8YRVnMQc/Π²ΠΈΠ΄Π΅ΠΎ.html but you are right, I think some common sports settings would be a really helpful and informative one. I may even have to move that up to the very next one I do. Thanks for watching!
Subbed!!
Mirrorless cameras don't have a mirror i.e the part one sees flipping up at 2:48. But most of them (if not all) still have a mechanical shutter. The noise one hears on a DSLR is motly from the mirror flipping up, that is true but if you listen carefully the shutter also maes a noise.
Most mirrorless cameras still have mechanical shutters. They lack mirrors. The fake shutter sound is used when they are in electronic shutter mode, otherwise the shutter still makes a sound.
Hi, I recently started in sport photography, I have a 90D crop sensor camera with a 70-200mm f2.8,so so far my biggest issue is what type of Af should I use ? Zone 9 points or spot? 1 point? I would like to hear your advice, thank you for your videos
Hi Kemlee, thank you for watching. I don't have direct experience with the 90D... however I have used several of their predecessors. While cameras have generally been getting smarter over the years, it's still usually best to restrict AF zones. I've had success using 4 or 9 point spots (depending on camera model), but some will swear by single point. I think the 4 or 9 point spots give you a little bit more margin of error in not having to keep a single dot precisely on target when tracking motion. But your keeper rate might be higher on single point if you're able to keep it on your target.
@@JerryTLai HI Jerry, thank you for the advice, AF zone 9 points it's what I've been using, but looking forward to go full frame, I might keep the 90D as a secondary camera, I've shoot 4 games between soccer, football volleyball and I think I found my niche, I love sport photography and your videos have been very helpful again thank you
Whatβs the best way to set your focus on
A couple of settings to use:
1) Make sure you are in continuous autofocus instead of Single Shot (Canon calls this AI Servo mode)
2) Try limiting the number of focus points you use. A lot of sports photographers stick to just the single center point, or sometimes expand it to the 4 or 9 points surrounding it (again, depending on what model camera used)
I'll also be coming out with a video in the next month that shares some sample settings that I use for sports, so be sure to check that out. Thanks for watching!
Sir , You Shoot raw or jpeg?
