Sports photography
Sportfotografie · Genres
Photography of sporting events with an emphasis on capturing action and emotion.
Fast shutter speeds (1/1000-1/2000 sec), continuous autofocus, and burst mode are indispensable. Long telephoto lenses (200mm+) bring the action closer from the stands. Anti-flicker is essential under artificial light. Anticipate the moment: know the sport so you can predict when the decisive action will happen.
