Digital Photography Tricks - Get A Result With Great Shots At A Football Match!

If you are a football fan, like myself, there are more opportunities than ever to watch your favourite team in action on television. But, despite all the camera angles, replays, and High Definition coverage available, I find that a well shot photograph actually taken at a game can speak volumes - capturing every ounce of sweat and toil the player is spilling, and holding that moment forever. If you would like to attempt this challenging, but ultimately rewarding genre, here are some digital photography tricks to help you on your way. A game over your local park is a great place to try this out.

Consider your position. Where you set up will have a massive impact on your final shots. Get on the side and close to one end if you want to take good shots of players running past and also a wide view of the goalmouth for any action here, or shots on target. For exciting shots of players coming straight at you, put yourself behind the touchline, at the side of the net. Beware of that striker who's off target, though!

Put on your neutral head. If you support one of the teams, or have family playing, try to forget this and ensure you capture shots of both teams. Watch the game purely as a photographer, this will ensure you don't miss opportunities that may pass you by if you concentrate on only one team or player.

The real digital photography tricks come into play when controlling the camera's settings. Try shooting in Aperture Priority (Av) mode, setting the aperture as wide as possible. Depending on the lens, settings of around f/4 or f/6 should provide enough depth of field to successfully blur distracting backgrounds. In Av mode, shutter settings will adjust automatically, influenced by the lighting conditions, in order to maintain correct exposure.

In many situations RAW images are preferred to JPEGs, mainly because of the level of enhancement you can make later in Photoshop, or equivalent. However, in this instance, continuous shooting mode should be used as you will want to keep your finger on the shutter and take multiple shots of the action. Therefore, consider shooting in JPEG for this assignment, which will allow for an increased amount of shots to be captured without the need to change the memory card.

Finally, to help control the camera, manually change the AF (autofocus) settings from Auto Point to central AF point. This allows you to dictate which part of the action to focus on, instead of the camera doing this for you (and possibly choosing the wrong part). In truth, I use the central AF point for nearly all of my photographs, whatever the situation, and it has not let me down to date.

I hope these few digital photography tricks prove helpful to you, and that you capture some successful and memorable shots in future.

Fatigue Shooting Drills (DVD) $39.99 with Kevin Sutton, Montverde Academy Men's Basketball Head Coach, NIKE Skill Academy Instructor To become a great shooter, players must concentrate and execute when fatigue begins to set in. Coach Sutton uses his own players in this on-court session where they are pushed physically and mentally. Each drill requires players to be shot ready, react to situations, use proper technique and maintain total concentration. The workout opens with a dynamic stretching routine that combines stretching with ball handling. In the full court, Sutton introduces 11 drills that focus on stretching and concentration. The Power 45 drill demands communication and teamwork, as well as shooting and footwork. Each player shoots 45 shots from three spots on the floor. Before transitioning to the next drill, players shoot free throws, jump rope or run sprints. The Around the World drill uses chairs in three spots six feet around the basket. Maneuvering around chairs while shooting makes this drill a challenge. Chairs are moved to half court for the M drill. After each shot, players run around chairs to the next spot. X shooting is also difficult by adding a back pedal to half court followed by a shot in transition. Defense is added to the X drill where everything that happens in the game of basketball is simulated. The final drill is sideline to sideline touches with chairs. Defensive slides again are an added feature of this workout. Cool down is a chair shooting drill that allows players to concentrate while winding down from the workout. Each drill has been carefully and creatively designed to push players while working on their shooting. Games are won and lost in the last minutes and fatigue often plays a huge part. Use this DVD to join those who win when it counts! 50 minutes. 2006.

Whether it is a jump shot, a 3-point shot, or short range, Loos stresses the importance of footwork, balance, quickness, and hustle. Learn and teach perimeter players to effectively use shot fakes, move without the ball, and improve concentration. In addition, use these drills to develop quick, powerful, and fundamentally sound scorers. With game shot and game speed simulation, these drills are very practical for improving individual and team shooting! 52 minutes. 2004.
