    How do you guys approach shooting Football? I'd love to know

      I shoot more videos now but when I did shoot pics I would edit the pics with different effects to hypen them up. I do the samething with my videos because that's what the kids want to see.

    This video ROCKS 💯 It's rare that I take notes from a video, but for this one, I did. Great rundown on field positions, the equipment used, and the types of shots you look to get.

    My first time here, im about to shoot Peewee Football. I been shooting for a year and i been grinding!!! i shoot with a Nikon D3200 and i have a 35mm (52mm on my crop) and 55-200 (82.5-300mm on my crop) and i just wanted some pointers. i been doing street photography and event photography. Im from Cali and the Black Bike set and the Lowrider set is really active! so i have some confidence to start. Perhaps kids is a lot easier that Harleys and Hopping Cars. anyhow, Thank you for the Info! i Subscribed and looking forward to more knowledge. **i shared a lil bit of story in case someone else was shy about their story!

    Great video review on the different approach to photography football players . On a off the playing field . But in your next video , if you can explain how I can get into having the opportunity to photograph college level football games ? In other words . How can I get permission to photograph the game . Staying within all the rules ! I have been turned away from entering the game , just for having a professional camera in my hands !

    I've only shot two games before. but been in the UK and knowing nothing about the sport, I found I don't know just what I should be focused on during the plays. Plus the UK teams are part-timers so I don't know if it's me missing the dramatic action shots through poor timing, or the players never quite get into those positions as they lack the speed & power of US professional players?

    What’s your typical setting for a night game at the HS level
    Where lights are not that good. 1/1000 2.8 10,000 iso ?

    hey, I like your videos, I'm new to the photography game and as of now, I'm only shooting my son's high school games. My issue is getting familiar with my camera. I have a "starter camera" a canon t6, and I wanted to get the most out of it before I upgrade. Any advice on what lenses and settings I should be using? As of now all i use is the lens that came with the cam and I shoot in sport mode, but I feel I can be doing much more and better.

    • @AUDACITY4Uphotographer
      @AUDACITY4Uphotographer 3 роки тому

      I would look for a used Canon 70-200mm F4 lens for around $600. Also a nice fast lens to get would be a Canon 50mm F1.8 STM lens. I would shoot with your shutter speed at least 1/1000th. I personally like shooting action around 1/2000th and faster to freeze the action totally. I'd put my F Stop wide open, F1.8 or F4, F5.6 depending on the lens. Your ISO is the third factor. Try to keep it as low as possible but be willing to sacrifice it some to preserve a fast shutter speed to capture action.

    Thank you! Excellent information in this video. Your systematic approach is something I'll certainly use next high school football season (Lord willing there is one). Quick question. For day games where there is ample light. Do you ever stop down to F5.6ish to help with getting more in focus or are you always at F2.8 and you adjust your shutter accordingly? I tried F5.6 for a day high school football game I shot the other week and I loved the results. Just wondering what others do. Thank you again.

    • @ShootBetterSports
      @ShootBetterSports  4 роки тому +2

      I like the 100-400 for day games so yes I shoot 5.6 a lot. You still get DOP because of the compression. If i choose to stay wide open I control the ambient with my shutter speed.

    • @TubaSolotheHiker
      @TubaSolotheHiker 4 роки тому

      @@ShootBetterSports Cool. Thank you. Yeah I really love the look I'm getting with F5.6 during daylight sports. F2.8 is insane separation but the F5.6 still looks amazing and the benefit of getting the play fully in focus. Good stuff. Thank you! I'm really enjoying your channel!
