Photography Basics and Camera settings Part 1. Sports Photography

[@RobSambles]

Part 2 will include some of the 'next step' like focus settings, file types etc.

[@luisenca11]

Does part 2 explain what the different shooting modes do? and which one is best for sports. I've heard, that Burst is better for sports, while others say Manual is only for advanced photographers? What is the best shooting mode for youth soccer shooting?

[@RobSambles]

[@jamesbosley5866]

Thanks!

[@kristianmika]

Thank you ! Very easy to understand and I feel I am ready to use manual😊

[@beverlymagtanong9545]

Such a great video!!! Super easy to follow. The visual examples are 🔥

[@sarahtyler240]

It took until today for me to finally grasp Manuel 👊! Thank you!! This doesn't just apply to sports because what you just explained is allowing a newbie to finally feel like they can take their 1st step and grasp understanding of these 3 settings and how they effect each other and work together. Sports is needing a fast shutter and when you don't need it so fast for landscapes and nature you just move everything in the way that it should go keeping in mind how they may effect the other avoiding blur/noise/under or over exposure and understanding bokah

Rob this was super! As a newbie this was a great and clear class on how to set up my EOS R to shoot some soccer. Thank You

[@RobSambles]

Awesome thank you

[@wellor06]

Thank you…giving tips is so great.

[@cowgirltay3133]

Such a helpful video for a new photographer! I’m definitely going to try some manual setting tomorrow for a horse show! Thank so much!

[@RobSambles]

Thank you

[@RobSambles]

I've got one coming on Tuesday that you'll like I think

[@julielindeman2814]

Absolutely amazing explanation! Thank you!

[@MsJchap]

Thank so much for explaining these three in a way I understand!

[@RobSambles]

No worries

[@ZeeTaib]

Thank you so much!! Simple! Straight to the point! Easy to understand!! Question would these steps still be the same when shooting outdoor sports at night

[@twinboys9968]

Fantastic, very well explained. Thanks

[@MLeeMedia]

Great video Rob, well explained for people who are starting out. The one tip I would add is not to be afraid of using auto ISO. I set the shutter speed and aperture, but I let the camera pick the ISO. In sports photography (especially outdoors), the lighting conditions are constantly changing and the last thing I want to think about is settings, but rather focus on the action. If it's indoors like basketball, then the lighting should remain pretty much constant and in that case I'll set the ISO manually. Anyway! Great video, keep up the great work.

[@RobSambles]

Thanks mate

[@SrirachiKat]

Indoor basketball is so hard to shoot. The lighting is extremely low in some gyms. I finally got a 50mm f 1.8 lens and that’s helping a lot! The iso is mostly at 1600 or 3200 so it’s always grainy but the denoise bar in photoshop helps a lot.

[@candicec5342]

Thanks a lot! This video is in simple terms that I understand! 😂 Can’t wait time watch part 2!

[@RobSambles]

Thanks Candice. It's on the channel - have a dig through!

[@loritr]

I have been watching a ton of Photography videos in yours is by far the most helpful and easiest to understand thank you so much! :-)

[@kinoelliott]

Thanks you explained it so well.

[@aiaempireframing8101]

[@marcelvargas9090]

Very good tips thanks for sharing

[@shawnreed2723]

👏👏👏👏 best explained video I have watched on KZbin discussing this topic thus far! Not everyone can teach what they do!

[@RobSambles]

Man I really appreciate that thank you

[@shawnreed2723]

Rob Sambles no, thank you! I just did a photo shoot of my dog running across a field to get his tire(which he loves to carry). Just about every picture was awesome, in focus and useable. I do a lot of landscape but am really interested in action and wildlife. I got somewhere to go from your tutorial. Do you have an Instagram?

[@RobSambles]

@@shawnreed2723 Yeah man, there's a part two on my channel and loads of other videos so make sure to subscribe. Instagram @robsamblessport

[@tamarah.1774]

Wonderful explanation! 👏🏾

[@fallingdownalot]

As usual clear and concise Rob. Looking forward to Pt.2

[@MsDiamoness]

Thank you soooo much. This is the BEST tutorial that I have seen to explain all of this, so far. You made this very simple and easy to comprehend. Thank you!

[@RobSambles]

Thanks so much. I've got loads of other videos like this since this one. Check them out.

[@shutterbuginfinity]

Great advice I like to take sports photos too

[@TheGray01974]

Great video as always mate , I love the information videos like this always gets you thinking more about what you could do to improve .cant wait for part 2

[@RobSambles]

Cheers Graham

[@colins_edits]

Great video, Extremely informative for a beginner like me!

[@RobSambles]

Thanks Colin. Check out my other videos - lots of bits that you'll hopefully find useful.

[@kathynassa9974]

But if you wanted to use say f5.6 to get more of multiple subjects in focus I up my ISO to compensate for the increased aperture. But I don’t like using high ISO settings but need to get out of that confirm zone and up the iso. Great video ty!

[@dirktassaert6579]

For outdoor sports(soccer,rugby) Manual Mode With AUTO ISO... Nikon D3s + Nikon 70-200mm f2.8,,, Nikon 200-500mm f5.6

[@brendaweaver4212]

Great info made simple! thanks!

[@colinhilton7812]

Superb, thank you!

[@emecepublicity5921]

Hi Rob, great video. I am spanish and i'm sports photography. I have a question for you but I don't know how to say it in English. ¿Cuál es el modo de enfoque que recomiendas? I've a problem while take a photos. I use sports lens 70-200mm 2.8 and I use usually aperture 2.8, but I can't get it to focus right. Thanks you for all.

[@blasmartinez8985]

Great video!!. Question please I have to use manual mode o sports mode?

[@RobSambles]

Manual mode for me

[@katieday4725]

Love your channel! I’m new to sports photography and your videos have helped me so much. Thank you!

[@RobSambles]

Thanks so much that's great

[@eddrew308]

Great video, thank you.

[@Short_117]

I use canon 90d and the lens I use is 24-70f4 and these are the settings I use to shoot high school basketball 1/1000 f4 and auto do you think this good or can you help me I only do video cause I really don’t know how to shoot photos really thank you

[@benlegrice6563]

nice video! I followed all the steps and my it is just a black screen and black pictures how do I fix ????

[@Bmye1011]

Take your lens cap off

[@pahwraith]

Just found your videos. I have a Canon 7dII and I'm excited to get into sports photography. Mostly rock climbing and combat sports (MMA/boxing/wrestling/bjj). Since I have practiced those sports and are immersed in the local scenes. So your videos are a ton of help. They answer a lot of questions.

[@RobSambles]

Thank you. I've got a fair bit of stuff about the 7d series so get watching! 😎

[@chloekim2659]

Your explanations are pretty good 👍 Can't wait for the next part :D

[@RobSambles]

Thank you

[@BO-yy7rz]

Your explanations are top notch, you should be a lecturer 👌👏👍, thank you 🙏🏻 great lesson indeed

[@RobSambles]

Thank you I appreciate that

[@oniwabangroup]

SO HELPFUL. YOU HAVE A NEW SUBSCRIBER

[@mahmoudmarzouk9308]

thanks so much for your videos but please make a video on how to take a sports photo at night not only morning

[@RobSambles]

Yeah I can man, it's exactly the same though. The settings I talk about here are for all light levels. You'll just need to bring that iso up more or lower that shutter speed slightly

[@noimspartacus9419]

Thanks for sharing

[@MrDane10]

Rob, do you use a tripod to shoot football? If so, are these settings still applicable

[@deraldsherman325]

Great Vid, Thank You.

[@erik5024]

My biggest challenge is noise in my basketball pictures. I'm running a 1Dx and 24-70 f/2.8 II, 1/1000, f/2.8 and auto ISO. The ISO ends up in the 4000-6000 range. I'm a hobbyist, taking pictures of my boys' high school sports (cross country, American football, basketball and track), so I don't want to have to buy a software subscription to edit and store my pictures. So, my question is this: do I just deal with the noise (I'm toying with RawTherapee, I have access to photoshop elements, and maybe I'll buy a denoise program like topaz) or should I manually lower the ISO to hopefully reduce noise, then adjust the exposure in post?

[@12stringacousticsinger-jos51]

Im using a canon 7d mkII with a 24-70 f2.8 L mk II lens and a Canon 80D with a 70-200mm L mk II would this kit be ok for a boxing tournament indoors?

[@kerrybelser]

Thank you so much.

[@supersabre69]

well explained Rob

[@RobSambles]

Thank you

[@pascalkesselmark7529]

Hi Rob, great video again. And thanks for your efforts. I know how much time you need to spend to create this content. Originally I’m coming from analog photography. So ISO/Aperture/Speed I had to learn the hard way (after one week the film was developed and no chance to redo the pictures). I even had to do manual light measuring in the snow, because the automatic was not trustworthy. What I found interesting is that younger people have troubles with the theory because I think especially the ISO (which is the sensitivity of a analog film) doesn‘t make sense on a digital camera. I will share your video with some beginners, so hopefully it will help them.

[@RobSambles]

Thank you I appreciate the support as always. It's interesting hearing the view of someone who's come from shooting film. I did shoot film for fun when I was younger, but never with anything too serious.

[@johnnypeeters2075]

thanks

[@tbdg5788]

The only way I can even see with my lens is if my ap is all the way up. Or my shutter speed is at like .8

[@squaretops1]

great video

[@yomomaj1612]

i did like the graph

[@cconnorcconnell]

my pictures are just coming out as black when i have a higher shutter speed. help.

[@RobSambles]

I would guess that's because there's not enough light getting into your lens. Watch my exposure triangle video

[@cconnorcconnell]

@@RobSambles i figured it out. i have a older camera the canon rebel xsi, so my iso only goes up to 1600. so i went down to 1/200 shutter speed and lowered my iso.

[@BruceLeroyUK]

Nice one, Rob

[@RobSambles]

I appreciate you always taking the time to comment Mr T

[@dylanmissoul9541]

great video! I appreciate it!

[@nataligamez6787]

When I put my shutter speed on 1/1000 of a second it’s so dark

[@RobSambles]

You need to adjust either aperture or iso to make it brighter again. Watch my video on the exposure triangle

[@Ralphy63]

Great video but can I suggest that you work on sound quality and sound consistency? Sound is all over the place, offering constructive feedback. Liked.

[@Coldstreamer17]

It doesn't matter how perfect my settings, they are always pretty fuzzy. It really sucks and puts me off taking more photography :/
