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

Lighting at venues will always be tough. That's always the fun part.

Ringside I like 24-70 2.8 and you can toss in a 70-200 as well if needed. If you have a slower lens, always bump up the iso. I'd rather have a frozen shot with noise than a cleaner shot with motion blur.

The point of impact is not usually the best shot. When I shoot sports thats what I am going for, but with wrestling, its usually right after. The facial expression, the hair going everywhere.

Any specific questions, feel free to ask away.

OP, if there’s one person to listen to, it’s Ryan and this comment.
