On four special methods of shooting.

Since the characteristics of sports are fast speed and changeable movements, photographers should try their best to show these characteristics in their photos. He must be good at using some special shooting methods according to the specific situation.

Action "solidification": This is the most commonly used method. The outline of his face and body was clearly and truly reproduced, and people saw the details that could not be seen at that time because they were moving too fast.

In the case of poor light, even if the aperture is opened, the required shutter speed cannot be obtained. At this time, we should take a snapshot when an action reaches its climax and is close to completion, that is, when the action tends to stagnate before changing direction.

Tracking shooting: move the camera smoothly along the moving direction of the target, so that the position of the target in the viewfinder remains unchanged all the time, and press the button while moving. This method can be used to photograph sprinters, riders and drivers in sports. Its effect is that the athletes' images are clear and the background is blurred. The advantage is that the messy background can be avoided from destroying the picture, and the blurred background can set off the quickness of the action. The shutter speed of the following methods is usually115-1/60s. If you are not sure, you can take several photos with different shutter speeds for the same target to choose from.

Blur effect: When shooting fast motion at low shutter speed, the outline of the image will appear blurred. This can not only produce a sense of movement, but also show the quickness of action. However, the degree of ambiguity should be moderate. Too much blurring will make the subject unrecognizable, and not enough blurring will make people mistakenly think that there is something wrong with the photo. You can try different shutter speeds to compare. Reducing the aperture is still too high for the shutter speed. You can use a gray filter, a polarizer or a red filter. However, the use of filtering will cause changes in color and tone.

Zoom shooting: press the shutter and push the zoom lens at the same time, so that the focal length of the lens becomes shorter from long. In this way, slow movements can be "accelerated", which is very dramatic. The outline of the main body extends obliquely in all directions from the center of the picture, as if it exploded towards the camera. This effect can only be achieved with a low shutter speed (115s-1 sec), so it is best to use a tripod. While pressing the shutter, you can quickly move the camera up, down or to an instance according to the action direction, and you can also get similar effects.
