A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Just started doing Photography for a local Pro Wrestling company. Any tips for photographing fast paced subjects? (alien.top)

I recently got the chance to do photography for my love pro wrestling company and loved it!
i have a very basic Nikon DSLR and 50-300mm lens. I think i did pretty well for my first time photographing this sort of thing, and the first time picking up my camera in 10 years.
I was just wondering if anyone had any experience or tips on how to produce better images for the performers i am photographing.

Cheers

Have you been to the venue before and checked out the lighting? If it’s got enough lighting from different angles it’d help you to get better and cleaner shots! If you don’t feel the lightings are enough perhaps tell the organizer to see if they could set up more lights.

On the lens 50-300 it’d be too tight if you’re at the ring side. If you are at the ringside you could borrow/rent out a 24-70 lens and you’ll be able to get some good close tight shots and a slightly wider shots.

If you can only bring 50-300 then obviously you’d need to locate yourself a bit further away from the ring and make sure theres no object blocking your views when you take the shots. Enjoy it!
