@Paul_Rutherford
@Paul_Rutherford 6 сағат бұрын
I'm sure it could happen. Heat waves are all about the turf being much hotter than the air above it. The changes in temperature cause the light to bend/refract. So maybe early evening the turf is still hot and the air cools down quicker it might happen.

Depends a little on the stadium/team, but most of the time you can't shoot from behind the goal, benches, or getting in front of the fans. Most people shoot around the corners either looking straight down the field or even with the 18 yard box looking across the field.

I shoot for a Division I Power 5 college volleyball team and I fully agree with Paul's recommendations. He's one of the first people I've seen on KZbin to recommend focusing on an attacker's legs under the net. That really works because, usually, the thighs will be in the same plane as the face on an attack. One additional thing I would recommend is shooting warm-ups. You have more freedom to move around the court before actual play starts. During warmups, you can ask the referees if you can shoot from the referee stand and usually they will say yes. Also, you can get really low. One of my favorite shots is to put my camera on a Platypod on the floor aiming up to get really dynamic shots of attackers in the air. Thanks, Paul - great info.
@Paul_Rutherford
@Paul_Rutherford 24 күн бұрын
Thanks for the kudos! Shooting warms ups can be very valuable. I normally don't only because my schools don't use the photos that much, but you can for sure get great images then as well!

Hey Paul, do you visit these places first to understand what your settings will be in your camera for exposure, depth, or is that just from experience?
@Paul_Rutherford
@Paul_Rutherford Ай бұрын
I try to get there early and get everything dialed in during warmups if I haven't been before. Other wise I will look back at old images to see the settings I used before. Once you've shot a lot it is easy to get the shutter speed, f/stop, and ISO dialed in quickly.

Just coming across your channel. You explained nicely. Do you shoot outdoor sports, I.e., softball with any filters? I ask because no matter my adjustments in the Triad, anyone wearing any white in their uniform, let alone an entire white uniform, I get blown out highlights. I enjoyed the video and subscribed. Thank you,
@Paul_Rutherford
@Paul_Rutherford Ай бұрын
I don't shoot with any filters. I let the white uniforms be a little blown out if it is a sunny day. Not the entire uniform, but if some spots are blown out that is ok with me since they are already white uniforms. I'd rather the skin be properly exposed vs the uniform.

Paul, as a person who hasn't gotten onto the field on the professional level just yet. What's the etiquette on moving spots or starting at a spot on the field for shooting? Lets say an opportunity was awarded to me, this would be too intimidating of a question to ask in a press/media room. Where does one learn this sports photography etiquette if not on a professional level yet?
@Paul_Rutherford
@Paul_Rutherford 2 ай бұрын
Great question. In terms of shooting locations it really depends on the sport and venue. Some stadiums in the MLB allow you to go wherever as long as you aren't in the fans way and others have strict shooting positions. If it is your first time at a venue I suggest asking other photographers or a team staff member if they are available. Other photographers will be happy to let you know whats going on if you tell them its your first time there and are polite!

Good question. I get paid as a freelancer on a per game basis. Different outlets have different set ups. So it could be that you get just the access, you don't get paid but maybe royalties if your images sell, a day/game rate, day rate plus royalties, or get a salary if you are on staff.
