[@Gunny559]

Watching this 6yrs later and it’s solid info 👍🏻

[@DanStratocaster1]

The more I think about getting back into sports photography, the more excited I get. Thanks for the excellent review. 👍🏻

[@karenmorelandphotography]

Thanks for the helpful tips. I don't shoot sports very often (other than volume photography) so I appreciate the ideas.

tamron 70-200 2.8 G2 amazing lens!

[@mhmediatv9028]

brother i really love this bt i havNt .. u use Thiss?

[@marvinlovenfeldt]

You can go a long way with the Canon EF 70-200 f4 IS version too, It weighs half of the 2.8 version (important if you shoot all day long) and cost half of what the 2.8 version cost. It's ultra sharp and just as good as the 2.8 version. Check the tests and reviews online. I own it and love it. Did a wedding where the light in the church was extremely bad. Pictures was fine. My Canon 80D did it perfectly.

Fotograf Marvin Løvenfeldt better to move up to the 300mm 4.0. 200mm is to short for your principle lens.

Very informative and great delivery. Thank you.

[@DrRichardHagmeyer]

Thankyou! Great video- lots of good reminders.

[@albertotirado5789]

Can you tell me what px size should I put the pictures on when it comes to printing them in millers lab? 8x10

[@shooting-starsphotography846]

Hi Vincent! my path into photography is pretty much the same as you have followed. I wish I had watched your videos when I was starting out! Keep it up!!

[@jamieleefarley9694]

Thankyou.. finally a video that didn't just talk technical. I took alot away from your tips.

[@JoseEsquilinPhotography]

The reason you shoot JPG and is often required by wire services - is to minimize the time to process. Also you have consistent editing - So although I shoot Raw for all other things - JPG is required for MaxPreps as an example.

[@kushyisrael1652]

Excellent advice, I'm having trouble charging customers for individual photos, is it best to offer images on a disk, also I do custom posters.

[@dchodeva]

Brilliant tips!

[@greatirishday]

Great tips for beginners. Another advantage of shooting RAW for sports - in addition to recovering shadows, shooting RAW gives you the ability to correct white balance problems. I accidentally shot jpg at one of my nephew's basketball games and found it next to impossible to correct the odd color cast that the gym lighting created in the images. That issue is easily resolved when I shoot RAW, so for that reason alone I prefer shooting RAW over jpg.

[@rexowenwaide2170]

Great information. Thanks!

[@TopcornerRider]

Great tips for beginners!

[@gregc107]

Good info but you don't use back button focus at all? Agrees with the no chimp rule. I don't but I see press photogs do it all the time. Raw at the point you worry about your EV, but if you have decent light then go with Jpeg. Gymnasium settings for me My Shutter - 1/640th of a second (allows slight motion in hair and clothing) but 1/1000th should stop all motion My Aperture F2/8 - F3.5(later setting allows for a bit more DOF depth of field) ISO - Indoors 3200-5000 depending on lighting in facility. But I try to not push the limits of the camera to produce grainy photos. I never use auto ISO settings, since in a gym where u have light flicker the camera may keep trying to compensate for what it might think are different lighting conditions. White Balance (WB) - I use Pre [Preset Manual] or Auto in good unchanging light conditions, For balance under preset conditions a White card or White wall can be used. Great job of covering..

[@fender8421]

Do you prefer to shoot in Manual or in Shutter Priority for sports photography? I do outdoor sports (whitewater kayaking, skydiving, snowmobiling, etc.) so there are different factors that come into play compared to football and such, but I like to hear opinions

[@triton576]

Shooting low light high school football has got to be the hardest. My tip is. You have to know the sport. Know where to be when to be. If its a right handed QB or left. Makes a big difference. I shoot a lot of hockey. To stop motion my shutter is at at lest 1/1250. With a !DX II. Thanks for the video..

[@mmtv4608]

What about the iso setting for lowlights 1250/second...maybe its too high🤔

[@triton576]

MG Hi MG. The ISO settings would be different from stadium to stadium. I shoot in manual and adjust my exposure to the center. Someone told me to sleep with my camera lol. Learn the mechanics how light effects your sensor . It takes a lot of practice. Good luck

[@DanStratocaster1]

My own 2 cents: If you want to shoot night games under the lights, you have to have a FULL FRAME SENSOR CAMERA. Of course that means a much bigger investment because you will also need a lens that’s also a full frame sensor. I use an old Nikon D700.

[@darenfinan2192]

Thanks for these tips. The get low made a big difference to my shots.. And loved the chimp tip, I've never heard it called that before LMAO.

[@Druvi92]

Thanks very helpful tips

[@jounbernice5984]

You should look up a microphone tutorial

[@rhyssherring8042]

Good stuff mate. You caught me with the 'faces and balls' segment :P

[@rhyssherring8042]

Hahahaha nice

[@itaki9]

thank you...well said

[@0791hook]

good video...It was a little hard to hear but still very good

[@vreeke777]

No back button af ?

[@beatmixer0097]

I would argue my Sony 70-200 2.8 is no slouch and EASILY on par with Canon and Nikon's 👌

[@TenzinSamphelphotography]

Thank you sir, it's help me lots

[@rodpatterson5695]

There seems to be a constant theme between using AI servo and One shot! I have been practising AI servo with back button focusing but every other tutorial says don't use servo?? Is this just a personal preference thing or have those people just not mastered that method?

[@gregc107]

Rod the issue is the one shot works for a still subject. It's not as effective against moving objects, In the case AI Servo (canon) or Continuous CL/CH modes (nikon). Bt I think you might be right that the average person how the camera shoots becomes a matter of preference.

[@skeenasiren3796]

Great tips delivered at my level, thank you. Thank you also for not putting music into the background of the video. I find that so distracting and unnecessary.

[@philipjames7374]

Great tips but I don't personally shoot sports RAW. My 7dii buffers like a bastard. I get great results with JPEG. I shoot everything else RAW though.

[@babs274]

very helpful

[@DanielMooreDJ]

A 70-200 f2.8 is far too expensive for a beginner photography I would highly recommend fro beginners to go for the 70-200 f4

[@bngr_bngr]

Daniel Moore a 300/4.0 is a better lens choice.

[@bngr_bngr]

jimmyfly for a beginner 300mm 4.0 is good. I personally use a 400/2.8 and a 135/2.0.

[@bngr_bngr]

jimmyfly of course I do. A shorter lens for the side I'm sitting at. Then the long lens for the action on the opposite side.

[@bngr_bngr]

jimmyfly I use a 600/4 if I'm shooting past the midfield in soccer.

[@darryldavis545]

Very honest

[@DanStratocaster1]

LMAO. “Get your mind out of the gutter....” omg
