Today, we’re diving into the nuts and bolts of sports photography. What’s my secret tool for capturing action-packed national league or adrenaline-fueled little league shots? It’s the gear I bring to each shoot.
Camera Gear That Has the Attendance Tag On
Let me walk you through the camera gear I carry for every youth sports event.
The Base: Camera Bodies
– I use at least two camera bodies.
– Having a backup allows for swift lens changing.
The Eyes: Camera Lenses
– A fast lens with a large aperture allows for high-quality action photography.
– I prefer a 70-200mm lens to capture those close-ups from a distance.
Essential Accessories Making My Job Easier
Does your sports photography pack only have a camera and lens? Oh, it needs a few more buddies.
Memory Cards and Spare Batteries
– I take extra memory cards and batteries.
– You don’t want to run short on memory or power during key moments.
Monopod
– For stability during long shooting sessions, I use a monopod.
– It’s less bulky compared to tripod yet effective.
Raincover
– Outdoor sports are unpredictable.
– Protecting your gear from unexpected rain is crucial.
Have the Right Bag
– The bag must fit everything but also be easy to carry.
– I use a roller bag for smooth, quick movements around the field.
