How to take sports photos with SLR?

1, follow-up shooting

Moving objects move very fast. If you shoot at the same speed as the subject, won't the subject be clear? Because we are moving, as long as we adjust the appropriate shutter, the background will naturally blur.

(1) Follow-up skills

It is suggested that shutter priority mode can be used. Because time is limited in high-speed sports, taking multiple photos in a limited time can ensure a perfect photo. So shutter priority is perfect, because shutter priority only needs to adjust the appropriate shutter speed, and the rest can be done by the camera for you.

(2) lens selection first

It is recommended to choose a wide angle of about 35 (35 fixed focus is better), because the safety shutter of a wide-angle lens is usually about 1/60 seconds. If telephoto is used, the safety shutter should be accelerated, so the natural shooting effect will not be too good and the film yield will be low. Moreover, the length of the fixed-focus lens is short, which can further ensure that the main body is not empty.

(3) Shutter speed

The shutter speed can be 1/200 seconds, which can ensure that the subject will not be blurred. The shutter speed of 1/200 seconds is not very fast, and the background motion blur can be completely realized in high-speed motion.

(4) Auxiliary skills

You can also try shooting in situ (shooting from the side of the subject), choose manual focusing (because the camera focuses slowly on fast-moving objects), and press the shutter to quickly translate the SLR camera while ensuring that the focus of the subject is clear. Of course, there is only one chance. ...

2, use zoom shooting

This is an interesting technology. You don't have to follow the subject or move the camera. What I'm afraid of is that you are a pity for the camera. After all, I broke a dragon lens with this technology. ...

First of all, you only need a zoom lens, like a lens with a focal length of 24-70. Let's find a model to ride on a motorcycle and make an action that seems to gallop on the highway ... put the focal length at about 35mm, set the shutter to 1/60s, and adjust the aperture and iso appropriately.

Then focus on the model, and when you press the shutter, turn the zoom ring quickly while the shutter is not paying attention. Such a photo with clear subject and dynamic background is completed (you can try it now, while Chen shutter is not paying attention ...)

Slow photography skills:

When using a slow shutter, the camera generally needs support, and it is best to use a tripod or a monopod to stabilize the camera. 1/30 seconds below all levels of shutter speed is very slow. Which level to use depends on the moving speed of the subject and the picture effect to be displayed.

If the selection speed is too slow, the image is likely to be completely blurred and people can't see it clearly; The speed of choice is too fast, and the sense of movement is lost. Therefore, if you are not sure, you can use several shooting files to find the best shutter speed, which will not blur the photos, but also show a certain sense of movement.

According to the shooting method, use the slow shutter to actually shoot. It is different from the former method in that the former is a fixed camera, which allows moving objects to pass in front of the camera lens and leave moving images on the negative, while the latter is a moving camera, which moves with the movement of the moving objects.

When the moving object is at the same speed as the moving camera, the moving object is relatively static, and the image left in the photo is also static, while the scenery around the moving object becomes a "moving" scene because of the motion of the camera. This kind of relative motion makes the original static scene leave a fuzzy moving image on the negative, giving people a sense of movement.

Follow-up is often used in sports photography to show the state of fierce competition. When using the follow-up method, you should choose dark scenes such as trees and crowds with a small amount of bright scenes, and it is best to use side backlight. In this way, when the mobile phone camera follows the moving body, obvious lines will appear in the background, reflecting the sense of movement.

In the choice of shutter speed, generally speaking, the speed is slow and the following effect is strong, but it is not easy to master technically, so the whole picture will be blurred and there will be no clear points. Therefore, when choosing the shutter speed, we should comprehensively consider the moving direction, moving speed and following effect of the moving object.

Some moving objects move very fast, so the shutter speed used should be increased accordingly. Sometimes it takes 1/60 seconds, or even more than1125 seconds. In order to make the subsequent photography successful, the photographer must press the shutter with his eyes fixed on the moving object and press the shutter while moving the camera. The camera can't stop moving because the shutter is pressed.

There are many ways to follow the shooting, except oblique following, vertical following, zoom following, parallel and horizontal following and so on. If you are interested, you might as well have a try.
