Getting Started with Action Sports Photography

This video created by the guys from Snap Addict in Sydney Australia takes a look at some of the basics of shooting sports and in this case shooting fast action skateboard.

The video starts with a look at some of the equipment used for this shoot (both entry level and pro level lenses) and moves of to technique, talking about what focal length to use, aperture and shutter speed as well as the angle and timing which is extremely important for fast action sports.

We have looked at many sports photographers before as well as several video tutorials on shooting sports including Joel Grimes: Shooting Active Sports Photography in the Studio, Peter Read Miller on Sports Photography, Quick Tips for Ski Photography and Sven Martin: Shooting the Flying Bikers.
