Sports Photography can sound cool at first, but there is nothing cool about being a sports photographer as it can be a tedious and complicated job.

One wrong click could mean a thing or two for professional sports photographers: a blurred photo, a wrong emphasis, and a wrong message.

You must first know these tips for you to become a good sports photographer.

Tip #1: If it is too far, you should be nearer.

One mistake that sports photographers often commit is the wrong angle. Not only the angle for the sports moment is considered, but also the photographer's distance from the scene. It is interesting to note that once you start doing the sports shot, you have to be aware of the space for your subject.

If it is too far, you should go to a nearer place, where you can have the best shot of your life. Survey the area for possible obstructions. Once you are finished examining the area from your point of view, the next sports photos that you will shot are guaranteed to be clearer in quality and the conveyed message.

Tip#2: You should be in the middle of the see-saw.

Another mistake that is often overlooked in sports photography is the inability to be fair. Sometimes, the intensity of the sport drives the sports photographer into a shifting feeling. Regardless of the teams he is covering; sports photographers should always have an eye on both teams.

There are times that a photographer could miss an important event for the other team. Focus on delivering the best shots. Cover those scenes that could entice the people. A sports photographer should not become a sudden fan from celebration to losses, team handshakes, rivalries, emotional interviews, and unusual incidents in the field.

Tip #3: Sports Photography requires a suitable mode of shooting.

Whenever we see a sports photographer on television, fast shots are always seen. It is called the 'sports mode where even a quick twist in the body or a change in facial expression is perfectly captured. First, set your camera to sports mode to let you shot two frames in one click. Yes! It is so fast that every change in the movement cannot be missed!

The shutter speed in the sports mode is incredible. It lets you choose the best sport shot for sports news. The modern digital cameras have a more advanced sports mode, and it is something that you should look out for!

Tip #4: Open your eyes.

Shooting with both eyes open is a must for a sports photographer. Using your eye to observe the moving subject and the other eye to spot an action within the frame is something you should learn immediately.

It may sound complicated to do, but once you master the trick behind that, you could now start capturing the best shots for your taste and interest. Your left eye should not be a problem because the usual photos are portrait-mode shots. The camera will not be a hindrance to your perfect position and angle.

Tip #5: Go Low and Mono.

What does that mean? To shoot the best sports action, you must know how to go low-going low means you could kneel to search for your chosen spot's best angle. It will help emphasize the drama and the subject.

On the other hand, the 'mono' that is mentioned stands for the monopod. It will serve as the 'Steadicam.' Utilize the monopod at its full use. It will help you capture fixed subjects. Steady shots are the definition of smooth and professional shots! The clearer the image, the clearer the subject.
