Here’s some tips for grabbing stunning action shots of your own:
- Use a fast shutter speed to freeze the action, you may have to use a wider aperture and/or a higher ISO.
- Try using the ‘AI Servo’ focus mode (on Canons). Your camera will continuously re-focus on a moving object, so you can grab the all important shot.
- When photographing fast moving objects, try setting your lens to manual focus and focus on a particular spot where your subject will pass through, then try and press the shutter release at the right time.
- Set your camera to continuous shot mode and press the shutter release before you need to, so that you get a sequence of shots that you can choose the best from.
- Try and get in close to the action for those ‘in the action’ shots, or use a telephoto lens if its not safe to do so.
