TOPIC 2: ACTION/SPORTS PHOTOS -- Now that you've got some tips on how to shoot action ...
- WHAT is your Sports/Action subject?
- WHEN and WHERE are you going to shoot it?
- Karl/Scobel talked about their approach to shooting sports/action. Your approach must include an "overall,” "medium” and a "closeup/detail” shot. While one of these can be a “sideline” shot, you must have at least one good ACTION PHOTO. List your ideas for:
- OVERALL --
- MEDIUM --
- CLOSEUP/DETAIL --
After listening from Scobel Wiggins and Karl Massdam on how to shoot action and sports events, the two main tips that really stuck with me were that of shooting in aperture priority and looking for the moment shots. For shooting in aperture priority, I think that this is a really important idea for shooting since the idea of blurring out the background in order to focus the image on the subjects in the foreground. Also, looking for the "moment" shots I think is also a really important idea to always keep in the back of your mind. Getting shots of people at a baseball game eating a hot dog is a great example of one of those moment shots that doesn't necessarily have to be of the main event but that is able to bring out the emotion of the event.
For my Sports/Action photos, the subject that I am looking to photograph is Corvallis Ultimate Frisbee held at the Crystal Lake Sports Field on Wednesday's starting at 6pm. My idea for trying to get the overall shot of this event is to try to get a shot of the crowd in the background of the photo and have a few of the players, hopefully in action, in the foreground. I think I'd like to play with the way that either blurring out the players and keeping the crowd in focus or blurring out the crowd and keeping the players in focus would look. For the medium shot I'd like to get either a photo of some people in the crowd or some of the players running around. For the close up though, I'd like to try to get a shot of two players two are both trying to challenge for the frisbee at the same time, freezing the action in time.
