i will practise more !! My keeper rate was good but a lot of them are the same or some are not intresting enough but usable. Thank youi for the reply. I guess thats the process of learning. Fail and keep going!

Thank you for the reply. By faces i mean the athletes faces. they were all very aggressive to say the least !

Thank you for the tips! i tried to do that but the more i thought the more i was loosing all the action because i am not quick enough yet!! And yes from one side they had windows and most of my scenes were really dark.

I guess maybe in the future i will find out!! although baskeball is not dominant in my country. I got 300 but now im reconsidering my choices! Yes i trid to capture some wide shots but it was a complete failure. Thank you for the tips.

i see so typically you keep few of them... i guess i expected too much. It was like a normal gym type court nothing special. no backround,not great lighting etc. i couldnt move a lot plus i was afraid that the ball will hit my camera..i cannot afford that.! Thank you for the tips.

Hello everyone. Yesterday it was the first time for me shooting sports. It was Volleyball. How the *** do professionals get solid photos with all the faces, people running around, athletes getting in your shot while you are focused on a subject, limited space etc? I took around 1300 photos. Only like 300 of them are usable. It was extremely tough anticipating the ball and trying to capture the action. And when I did... the faces... Oh my god. And not only that.. it was women playing...you can imagine how many of the photos they will like. Some are pretty good athletic photos not gonna lie. And to my defense I had only one lens a 24-105 f/4. I am waiting for the new Sigma for Sony mount. I think it will help a lot. Anyway I would love some advice. Thank you.

Edit: By saying it was women I wasnt trying to be sexist at all. But my girlfriend was playing and when see saw the photos she would look at every minute detail of her body.

Amazing! That was my worry for the theatre plays! Even if I would go as a spectator my camera clicks would disrupt the audience as well! I will definitely get in touch with directors or actors that's some solid advice thank you very much.

Just a couple of days ago I purchased a messenger bag just for this reason! Now everywhere I go I take the camera with me! Thank you for the reply.

[–] Johnako123@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah I thought so. And yes I just want exposure and practice so they can do anything with the photos! Thank you for your reply!

Very valuable information. Thank you very much for taking time to reply. My girlfriend is playing volleyball so I might start there. Today I am going to the camera club in my town and meeting people as well. I have gone to some 'big' events and when I tried to contact them for a feedback of my photos they never replied. (Also told them they can use it freely). Anyway I will try my best to strengthen my network. Thank you again and I wish you all the best.

Thank you for the information.

 

Hello everyone I hope you are all well. I am constantly looking for local events (fashion shows,theatre plays, concerts) and I was wondering if I could just show up and take photographs? Will they allow me to? Even as a spectator or anything? I mainly lack friends and I want to practice as much as I can. Should I email before I go? If anyone has ever done this or has some info I would love to know. Thank you very much in advance.
