Sports mode is usually indicated by the
funning figure on the dial of compact
cameras.
It is good for freezing action, perfect for
photographing a subject in motion.


It can actually be used to shoot ANY subject
in motion, from kids running in the backyard
to waves crashing on the ocean or a kitten
chasing a toy.
This mode tells the camera: use a fast shutter
speed, shoot quickly.
Some cameras have “continuous mode” so
you can shoot one picture after another very
quickly in a series.

It's more difficult for the camera to track
moving targets as they get closer. This is
because the focus system has to work harder
and faster to change the focus as targets
approach.
No problem, just know this and wait till
subjects are further away if you have to.



It works best in bright conditions.
Brainstorm in your notes 5 pictures that you
could shoot movement or sports in bright
conditions. You have five minutes!
Be prepared to share out.

Take note of where the sun is and make sure
the sun is to your back when shooting. This
will ensure you have your shutter speed on
it’s maximum without having to worry about
exposing for the faces of the players if you
were shooting into the sun.

The closer you are to someone, the better you
can see them. Sports are no different. You have
to get as close to what you are shooting as you
can.
Typically, for a photographer with a press pass,
you can get to the sidelines or other similar
locations.
You also have to be familiar with the sport to be
able to capture the moment. This means knowing
where to position yourself for the best action.


Get the dramatic moments.
For instance, in basketball, you will have
opportunities to photograph layups, jump
shots, free throws, etc. Understanding the
timing of these predictable actions allows you
to capture the peak moment, when the action
is most dramatic.


Think about the shape of humans. They are
taller than they are wide.
To fill the frame with a person playing a
sport, they fit the frame better while holding
the camera vertically.
