Five Action Shots for Fast Freaks [Sports Photography]
Posted by: ozlady in Action, Inspiration, Sports, Techniques, tags: Action, burst mode, cycling, fast shutter, football, horse, motorcross, panning, show jumping, snow boarding, SportsMy SS15 is starting to get into photography, and our trip to the F1 last year inspired him to start practicing to get good shots. He hopes to actually get a car in frame, in focus this year!! 
As a fellow amateur, I can relate, so I’m getting him to practice with high shutter speeds and also a technique called panning.
As always, there are much better articles out there on these techniques than I could write, so enjoy the links and shots below.
- Sports Photography, from Photography basics, starts to introduce preparedness and the importance of shutter speed and burst mode.
- DPS in their usual straightforward style has a really good article on the panning technique – capturing moving subjects.
- I really like the troubleshooting part of 640 Pixel’s article on sports photography.
Now for some action!
