Sport Photography - Part 2

Getting the subject in focus in a big challenge. This is due to the subject keeps on moving unless you use a wide angle view. Zooming makes the pix more dramatic and causes more blur to the background. But one big problem is keeping the subject at the centre. Or I should say this is called "framing" problem. All we need to do is just be more focused. Here are some more pix...

Sport Photography - Part 1

As an amateur photographer, I try to explore different types of photography. I managed to take some pix on sport photography. All I can say...its not as easy as it seems. Its not just about shutter speed. We might want to freeze the moment but there are things which do not allow us to do so.

There won't be much problems if the subject is under The Sun especially in the afternoon. But what if the subject is in a low light situation? Maybe indoor or almost dark (near sunset)? Increase the ISO and increase the Aperture size.

The pic below was taken with ISO 3200, f/4.0 and 1/250 s. I did not fire flash since doing that might have caused disturbance to the players. Using shutter speed 1/200 s or lower would show a blurry motion. Plus my shaking hand, the pic would be useless.



The next pic was taken with the same settings but with f/4.5 and the widest is 4.0 for my lens. Its Canon 70-300mm. I still can't afford an L lens. Not yet hehe.
