Sports Photography Help - R6
Re: Sports Photography Help - R6
When my daughters were playing tennis, I would take my camera to as many of the practices as possible. That allowed me to move around and find the best vantage points for shooting from. It also let me learn the lighting of the indoor courts where they played and took lessons in the off season for the schools. Since both basketball and volleyball are indoor sports, you will find that lighting varies from one gym to another, but attending practices and scrimmages should give you a good idea where the high point of the action takes place and the best spots for capturing the action. My thought would be to get to the gym early enough to get a good spot and shoot a few shots during warmups in order to determine your exposure settings for the light in that gym. I would then use manual exposure settings, using the shutter speed you find works to stop action and the aperture that you are comfortable with for depth of field (actually, with your lenses, I would probably shoot wide open), then the ISO that you need to get good exposures with those settings.
