3. Switch to sports or continuous focus mode, if your camera is so equipped.
4. Zoom in on the athletes, and follow the action.
5. Press the shutter button halfway while following the action through your viewfinder.
Pan the camera to follow an athlete or group of athletes, and then press the shutter
button when something interesting happens.
6. Photograph the event from
different vantage points,
if possible. This image
shows a racecar slowing
down for a hairpin turn.
The photo was shot from
a spectator mound with
a telephoto zoom lens.
The car was still going
fast enough to capture the
essence of motion. The
image was shot with a
slow shutter speed while
panning the camera with
the car.
7. Keep an eye on the sidelines for reactions from the coaches and teammates on the
bench when someone scores.

GETTING THE LAY OF THE LAND
If you can arrive early to the sporting event, you can
scope out interesting vantage points ahead of time
and create a plan of action. If you do a bit of planning
beforehand, you??™ll end up with some wonderful shots.
1. If you??™re photographing a local football game,
see if you are permitted to take photographs from
places other than the grandstands.
