5. Photograph principals in the sport, such as the head coach conferring with the team
and giving them final instructions before the heat of battle. If possible, zoom in to
capture the range of emotions and the bond between the coach and athletes.
6. If you??™re photographing a team event, watch a practice session or warm-up. While
watching the practice session, pay attention to the different athletes to get a feel for
which athletes are more aggressive than others, which take risks, and which are rivals.
This information enables you to track the athletes that will provide the most memorable
shots.
7. Moments before the event starts, photograph individual athletes from a distance.
Zoom in tight on the athlete??™s face to capture the mask of concentration as the athlete
puts on his or her game face and mentally prepares for the event.
TIP
When using a monopod to steady the camera while
photographing in a low-light situation, switch to a higher
ISO setting. This enables you to choose a higher shutter
speed.
TIP
Most monopods have a wrist strap. Use this in
conjunction with your camera??™s neck strap to ensure
that the camera doesn??™t go crashing to the ground while
you??™re changing memory cards.
