How does sports photography capture wonderful moments?

Sports photography takes shooting all kinds of sports bodies in sports competitions or sports as the main goal, emphasizing instantaneous dynamic modeling, taking dynamic modeling as the means of expression and combining static and dynamic as the means of expression, so that the picture is full of vitality and vitality. Dynamic effects are usually achieved by controlling the shutter speed.

1, depicting a living image.

Pay attention to capture the charm and indomitable spirit of athletes, pay attention to the rendering effect of the expression, posture and environmental atmosphere of the sports subject, give people a kind of strength or a soft sense of movement, and make the theme of the work vivid, lively and interesting. Try to get close to the subject when shooting. If limited by the scene, a larger image can be obtained by using a telephoto lens.

2. Have the equipment to adapt to high-speed continuous shooting and skilled snapshot skills.

The camera for sports photography should have the functions of high-speed continuous shooting, autofocus, automatic exposure and automatic film feeding. When the ambient light is insufficient, the camera sensitivity can be set to ISO800- 1600 (the higher the sensitivity, the greater the digital noise, so use with caution). The lens aperture is large (fast lens), and there are many medium-telephoto lenses used. When using telephoto lenses, it is necessary to prevent jitter and use them as much as possible. Sports photography requires photographers to be sensitive, quick in focusing, quick in framing, accurate in exposure, timely in capturing pictures and good in adaptability. Therefore, sports photography requires high basic skills of photography, which can only be achieved through continuous training.

3. Have the skills of tracking, focusing and shooting.

Follow-up photography is mainly used to show the dynamics and speed of a moving object, and there are usually the following follow-up methods:

Follow in parallel (left and right). The traveling direction of the camera and the moving object is 90 degrees, and the camera follows the moving object in parallel when shooting.

Follow vertically (up and down). When the moving body moves longitudinally, the camera follows it longitudinally. If it swings for a thousand years, the camera catches up.

Zoom (back and forth) to follow. When the photographer faces the moving object with the lens moving axially, he follows the shooting with the zoom lens. At this time, radiation will appear around the moving object, which enhances the dynamic effect of the picture.

4. Capture the wonderful moments of difficult movements.

The difficult action in an instant is an important symbol of sports photography, and the best moment comes from the timing of shooting. Generally, you should be familiar with the position of the best moment of the subject's motion quality and prepare for shooting in advance. The shutter should be 1/250 or 1/500 seconds at high speed. When using the middle lens or telephoto lens, pay attention to the characters in the picture not to be too big or too slow, and leave room for clipping to maintain the integrity of the main characters.
