Whether you photograph sports or not, I find it useful to step back from my usual subjects and look at other styles of photography. You never know what ideas you might get!

Shooting great sports photographs requires quick reflexes, technical know-how, and the ability to anticipate the action. In this podcast, I’ll talk through the secrets to capturing compelling sports images:

1. Know the Sport
2. Use the Right Gear
3. Optimize Camera Settings
4. Pay Attention to Composition
5. Find the Best Angle
6. Capture the Peak Moment
7. Work with Available Light
8. Tell a Story
9. Be Prepared
10. Respect the Game and Athletes
11. Experiment with Creative Shots
12. Edit Thoughtfully

Bonus Tips:

1. Practice: Sports photography requires quick thinking and practice to master timing and technique.
2. Shoot in RAW: Capture more detail and have greater flexibility in post-processing.
3. Stay Safe: Be aware of fast-moving players, balls, or equipment.

I hope you enjoy it.

Best wishes

Graham

As it's still early in 2025, I thought that it would be a good idea to revisit the basics. I sometimes go down a particular rabbit hole myself (photographically speaking) and, in so doing, forget something basic but useful. So, I think it's a good idea to periodically go over the basics again.

I've cheated slightly in that I'm talking through a free PDF that I offer on my website; "10 simple steps to improve your photography today". You can go to the download page by clicking the link.

So, while not all of them will be new to you, there might be something in the list that you haven't been doing as often as you might. Here's the list:

1. Have a clear subject
2. Use the "Rule of thirds"
3. Use depth of field
4. Know your camera
5. Use 'Leading lines'
6. Change your point of view
7. Use reflections
8. Be aware of your background
9. Try using black and white
10. Break the rules!

Of course, these tips, and much more, can be found in my online photography courses, so please take a look.
