How to Capture Sports Like an Olympic Photographer

[@alexcalixto9]

Great tips. Could you please make a video showing how you set your focus back buttons and how to use them?

Awesome. An observation - as an 82-year-old who started in sports 52 yrs ago, I've learned that EVERYTHING is sports photography - the same principles apply in every other photo field. Also, I learn a lot from channels that would seemingly be irrelevant, like Micro Four Nerds, because wonderful photographers like Emily inspire me in my work as a "utility" photographer.

Thank you for your video and the information it contained. Having recently upgraded from my 13y old Canon 7D - 7 fps to a Canon R6Mk2 - up to 40 fps. I've had 3 major outings with the R6ii, Two were at local V8 Sprint Boats event and the other at a local air show. At this point I'm finding 40 fps to be quite scary. 🐯

Really fun video. Next chapter: how to go through 100,000 images to find the good ones.

We should do that!

Awesome work and tips! Where do you focus for water splash and kayaks- on the kayakers or the boat or just a area about the action?

[@JeffCable]

Always on the kayakers!! :)

Sir if may ask, is Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD good enough to shoot indoor basketball action? Like maybe just pick up games among friends or even a regular schedule hoop runs. Thanks!

[@JeffCable]

Sure. That should work just fine.
