Sports Photography Tips
There is a useful article by Steve Johnson over at Nikonians about how to shoot sports scenes like a professional.
Camera Settings
- Continuous servo autofocus
- Lock the center focus sensor
- Center-weighted metering
- Aperture priority (usually wide open)
- Possibly some negative exposure value (EV) to avoid blowing out white jerseys. Hopefully not more than -1.0.
Worth a look if you are interested in trying this sort of thing. I thought sports photography was all about shutter priority, so it was useful to see some tips pointing more towards shooting with the lens wide open and using a slighlty negative exposure to prevent the highlights blowing out.
