Great tips! I like tip of details vs hero shot. Excellent! I have a wrestling event this weekend to shoot. I'm pumped up after watching this.

Thanks! Good luck shooting the wrestling event, that sounds awesome!

I would add: don't stop too soon. I've missed more cool moments because I stopped shooting when I thought the action was over or anticipated that there wouldnt be much action. You never know what will occur, and images are easy to delete.

Absolutely! keep that shutter button firing a frame or two longer than you think you need too. Great addition, thanks for the comment!

I been helping the local hi school to do year book they have the soccer games at non to much sun light so i have been having problems there the shoots are no’t that bad but i know i can do better if i can find the way to work with the sun at peak, to many shadows on face and bodys, i have a D850 with a 70-200 2.8 what will u recommend?

[@banta412]

Hey, Thanks for the question! If you are having trouble with shadows on faces you could try either adjusting your position to a more broadly lit area of the field where the image log a little bit flatter. You could also get creative by shooting silhouettes directly into the sunlight or by zooming in and shooting ultra close up images of the things that make the game special (Sweat bead on the eyebrow, foot kicking the ball, goalies gloves, etc.) when conditions aren't favorable you've got to adapt and make the best of it and tell the story the best way you can with the tools you have at your disposal. Good Luck!
