SHOOT LIKE A PRO
Top-notch tips that will enhance your action-packed portfolio
1 Get it right in-camera
Continuously adjust exposure settings as light conditions change, so you’re always ready.
2 Back-button focus
Dedicate a back button on the rear of your Canon camera, usually the AF-ON button, to lock focus quicker, and prevent hunting. Plus it leaves half-pressing the shutter button to metering.
3 Find a new perspective
Seek out interesting angles, like a top-down view of a pirouetting ballerina or a low-angle shot of a diving keeper from behind the goal.
4 Freeze the decisive moment
A last-minute winning goal or first-place finishline celebration are more compelling than a consolation goal or mid-pack athlete’s finish.
5 Know your subject
Research your subject, and you’ll begin to anticipate movements.

6 Use fast lenses to blur backgrounds
Fast lenses are an action essential. They boast wider apertures, which makes it easier to isolate subjects with shallower depths of field, and gather more light, so you can maintain faster shutter speeds in lower lighting conditions.
