By Cynthia Barnes


People love taking photos to capture moments such as when their loved ones are playing in a sports competition in Calgary City. Photographing these moments though is more difficult because of the fast paced action of the games. But if done properly, you would be able to have a picture worth keeping and sharing over to other people.

Some people have the tendency in hiring professionals because capturing the perfect action during a game is very difficult. But doing this is expensive and not economically sound specially when your child regularly participates in sporting events. Becoming a great sport photographer Calgary is possible by following all these helpful steps.

When shooting at higher speed, use high ISO which helps stop motion and can give you a chance of getting the perfect shot. It is easily done during the day though harder to do at night which requires faster F Stop that may not be suitable for your lens. Compromise by increasing more the ISO so more light can be seen by your camera.

Try different set ups and angles in every event you go so you can get different results compared to your previous shoots. Allow your creativity to flow and look for new ideas in approaching it by using new angles, shooting locations and backgrounds. This will help you to capture something which no one else took adding to the uniqueness of your pictures.

Prepare something where you can put your equipment that allows you quickly change lenses and other things when needed. This could either be a photo vest, belt system or fanny pack which most photographers use in carrying what they need. This would be dependent on your preference and how comfortable you are when wearing it.

Find a great lens which you can use considering that the heavier, longer and bigger ones are better but are likely more expensive. Purchase one according to the considerations that you could afford from brands which professionals trust for a very long time. Check if the lens have a tripod which helps when using it due to its size.

Chimping is looking at the camera LCD after every shot taken for you to check them which is not advisable in photographing sports. The reason is that your attention would be taken off from the action and a good shot opportunity would be missed or you could get hurt. There is always a place and a time to review pictures.

Slow shutter speed can be used when you like a blurry background for your photo compared to higher shutter speed mentioned previously which helps in stopping motion. Energy is added to the picture when this technique is used plus it makes a clean background. The focus and sharpness is on the subject while a great effect is provided by the background.

Flash photography is prohibited when shooting sports so avoid using them because it distracts the players. This is usually the case in outdoor sports but some indoor ones allowed this. Though this is dependent on the event with the lower level ones usually allowing the use of flash.
