Whether it is your child's sports day or you are a professional
photographer at a top sporting event, freezing the action is key
to successful photography.
86. Anticipate where the action is going to be and set up your
position accordingly. It could be horses bursting from the starting
stalls or the winner crossing the line in a 100 meter sprint. Why
do you think all the photographers sit themselves behind the goal
at a football match? The action that makes the news doesn't happen
on the half way line very often.
87. Don't miss any of the action. Use a camera with motor drive.
The motor drive advances the film for you and you don't have to
wind the film on.
88. Most of the time you will need a camera with a lens of at least
200mm. To get close to the action a little further away you can
easily double or triple that length to get to the heart of the action.
89. If you can get head on to the action slower shutter speeds
can be used.
90. If you are using a compact camera or you don't want to trouble
yourself with shutter speeds etc., then use a fast film.
