Water sports shooting skills

Splashing CANON PowerShot SD600 Charger waves, sunlight sparkling in the bright reflective clothing to generate the body of water activities are exciting intense dynamic body of photographic subject matter. In recent years, water sports is committed to the development of creative use of cameras to provide a number of shooting opportunities.

And the usual way around, moving the body photography CANON PowerShot SD630 Charger does not always need to use long lenses . Is actually fairly simple to use photographic equipment, film planning canoe, drive boats, race boats, sandbars sailing, surfing, jet washed the raft and sports activities, can produce eye-catching photos .

300 mm or longer lens is expensive, and large weight. At the same time, to get good results , long-lens camera in the use of need more accurate than short focus.

I found, in this case is the secret of using a short lens as close as possible subject. Sometimes. This means that to get into the cold water, on your knees shooting. And thus must also focus on prospects for a person who, leaving spectators and other athletes in the background, it is particularly useful.

If CANON PowerShot SD750 Charger a specific sport in a fixed runway, I am usually a good distance prior to the test, select some of the best pre-tune focus. Choose the length of several different lenses to achieve different effects. Remember, water sports to shoot good pictures is not always to use high-speed shutter, fuzzy little pictures can often convey a strong dynamic subject, and the whole site can not have a clear picture. However, to master the use of this technique have to find out how much blurring is just right, it is best to appreciate from the practical experience to master. This technique also depends on what you shoot is sports, the length of the lens focal length used, and dynamic camera angles and the size of the body. Shutter speed below 1 / 60 seconds, the result is difficult to predict, but it has an advantage that can capture beautiful pictures with special effects, these photos are almost like a oil paintings. When using a longer exposure, the camera is placed in a stable tripod, shooting pictures out of the water looks beautiful.

Another technique is to use 1 / 125 second or even faster pace, to follow the photography CANON PowerShot SD550 Charger . Taken this way out of the picture, the subject is quite clear, but the background will show the fuzzy stripes. To make fast flowing water Ning Zhu, usually transferred to at least make the shutter speed 1 / 500 sec.

Especially when using longer lenses when shooting fast moving objects, in order to accurately focus is very difficult. The problem can be a point on the subject focus or follow pre-focusing to resolve. The former technique is simple and suitable for different situations. The latter technique is more difficult to master, but also to constantly adjust the focus to the subject matter can be clear when approaching or leaving. If you use an ordinary spiral focusing lens, until you feel there is no master of this technology to conduct training.

If you are using a 200 mm lens focal length or longer, more technical training to be a. It should be noted is that if you are using a different manufacturer's lens, then there is the lens to focus the sub-clockwise. Some counter-clockwise focus, then we should make sure you use all the lenses are focusing in the same direction. Otherwise, the height of the movement, you can be able to focus the direction of confused, missed most valuable shooting time. Should have a sports photographer, the most important skill is the ability to anticipate the peak action. Cartier-Bresson called it a "decisive moment." Ability to identify this peak is taken by your campaign to be carried out thorough and careful observation and accumulated. I realized that, to sit down calmly, to be taken on the kind of idea photos carefully. Before shooting and the problems may be estimated to be crucial. This does not make you shoot some documentary photos. You can also draw a few sketches before shooting, you expect the effect to get some discretion, which is particularly useful work.

In my view, mental preparation and selection of at least as important as the appropriate photographic equipment. Mentally ready to not only help you capture the scene of the accident, but also allows you to overcome the harsh environment encountered difficulties. Even with or without boots and umbrellas on the success or failure has a great relationship. Sometimes carrying a camera, the camera is waterproof cover to prevent water splashing or immersion. Indeed. A professional photographer is best to buy a sturdy waterproof cover, if you do not often use, you can buy a very cheap made of polyethylene and flexible waterproof cover. I find that both durable and waterproof cover is not easy from the floor. On one occasion, shooting rapids in the Zambezi River red raft movement, my camera to escape calamity.

Now to talk about how to determine the correct exposure. Unfortunately, the automatic TTL exposure meter is easy to light reflected by the water shortage caused by the exposure. When transferred to the ideal position polarizer, the polarizing filter can reduce the reflected light in some nasty, but also increase the color saturation. In addition, you can use a handheld light meter to measure incident light readings taken, take back of the hand can measure the reflected light readings; press 1/2-2/3 file to increase exposure. If you use a polarizer, do not forget to increase the required exposure compensation. (Increase of 1 / 3 block) by manual adjustment TTL exposure meter measuring the reflected light readings taken back of the hand, you can also get the same effect. If your camera's CANON PowerShot SD500 Charger light meter can only be controlled, you can compare the hand and features readings, and then adjust the exposure properly. In this case, exposure compensation is no longer needed because the polarizer to the lens has already been installed on the.
