Sport Photography


While it may be challenging to get shots in the moment, here are some tips on getting the perfect shot of what you want in outdoor sports.
  1. Take a few test shots to get your lighting all right, you wouldn't want to mess the shot up, would you?
  2. Use the highest shutter speed you can, without raising ISO or EV (too much).
  3. Use burst mode to maximize your chances of getting the right shot.
  4. Make sure to focus BEFORE the shot, even if it is in AF mode, aim on the spot and hold shutter halfway down (or whatever other AF control you have).
  5. Don't take too many pictures. You are there to enjoy it, not just photograph it.

Finally, here are some shots I took at a recent Unicycle and Bike trials festival.

What goes up...

must come down.
