Photography, sports figures

There are many ways to shoot people in sports.

In terms of shooting skills, there are generally three methods.

First, the camera is fixed, that is, the camera does not move. When a moving character enters the picture, shoot at a higher shutter speed to clearly capture the movement posture of the character and make the moving character clear. The shutter speed should be determined according to the moving speed, shooting distance and direction of the moving person. Take sprint as an example, the distance is about 10 meter, which is 90 degrees with the direction of movement, and the shutter is about 1/500 seconds; Make an angle of 45 degrees with the moving direction, which is about 1/250 seconds; If you shoot head-on,1125 seconds is enough. The closer the distance, the faster the door will open. Of course, the faster the action, the faster the shutter.

The second is tracking shooting. The so-called follow-up is that although the camera position is fixed, the camera shakes with the athlete, and the shaking speed is consistent with the moving speed of the character. In other words, the position of the characters in the picture remains the same during the camera shaking. When you press the shutter at an appropriate time, you can take pictures with clear movement and blurred background, and use the blurred background to set off the movement of the characters. This method should pay attention to two points: first, don't forget to continue shaking the lens at the original speed when pressing the shutter; Second, the shutter speed should not be too fast, and the background is too clear to show movement. Generally 1/60 seconds is enough.

The third method is to shoot at the same speed, that is, the photographer and the athlete move at the same speed, such as shooting a long-distance race. The photographer moves at the same speed next to the athletes in the car (of course, on the bicycle), and the effect is similar to the second one, with clear subject and blurred background. The shutter is also around 1/60.

Of course, there are many ways to exercise, besides running, there are others, such as gymnastics and martial arts. , can't generalize. However, the key to sports photography is to shoot a dynamic figure. Even if you shoot a clear moving figure with a high-speed shutter, it is best to have a clear face, trunk and other parts that move faster, such as hands and feet, so as to have a sense of movement.
