And that??™s the key to capturing good images at a sporting event:
take a wide variety of pictures from different vantage points.
TIP
Synchronizing your camera with a moving subject takes
practice. Begin by panning your camera with slowermoving
objects, such as children on bicycles, and then
move up to faster-moving objects, such as speeding
cars or birds in flight. With a bit of practice, panning will
become second nature.
TIP
Continue panning after you press the shutter button to
ensure that the subject??™s motion is still synchronized with
that of the camera. If you stop panning at the instant you
press the shutter button, your subject will not be sharp,
because it is still moving but your camera is not. This is
especially important if you??™re photographing fast-moving
objects at slower shutter speeds.
TIP
If your camera takes a second or two to power up, when
photographing action or a sporting event, use your
camera menu to increase the amount of time before your
camera goes into standby mode. This will shorten battery
life, but your camera will be at the ready when you press
the shutter button. After photographing the action, you
can decrease the amount of time before your camera
goes into standby mode to conserve battery life.
