Follow-up of sports photography

Follow-up shooting means that the camera always follows the moving subject. Television pictures taken in this way are called follow-up shots.

1, characteristics of the follow-up lens

First, the picture always follows a moving subject.

Second, the position of the main body in the frame is relatively stable.

Thirdly, the follow-up lens is different from the push lens whose lens position moves forward, and it is also different from the forward lens whose lens position moves forward.

2, the role of the camera

First, the follow-up lens can continuously and meticulously represent the moving subject. It can not only highlight the subject, but also explain the direction, speed and posture of the subject and its relationship with the environment.

Second, the camera moves with the subject, forming a modeling effect that the moving subject remains unchanged and the static background changes, which is conducive to drawing out the environment through the characters.

Thirdly, following the camera from the back of the character can show the subjective camera, because the audience and the photographed character have the same perspective.

Fourthly, following the camera to record people, events and scenes is of great documentary significance in the shooting of documentary programs and news.

3. Problems that should be paid attention to when shooting with a camera.

First, keeping up with and catching up with the subject is the basic requirement for subsequent shooting.

Secondly, following the lens is a method of shooting through the movement of the camera. A series of shooting problems caused by the movement of the lens, such as the change of focal length, the change of shooting angle and the change of incident angle of light, are also problems that should be considered and paid attention to when shooting with the lens.
