CAPTURE THE ACTION

High-speed photography gives spectacular insights into the world of sport or wildlife. Being in the right place at the right time allows you to capture rare moments for posterity. But it is also one of the most difficult genres in photography. Fast movements bring their own difficulties. Without a deep knowledge of a wide range of photography technology and surroundings, the likelihood of blurry results increases.

It is essential to understand your camera techniques to never miss a chance of an outstanding shot. Equipment is one of the most important factors in action photography, but by learning to get the most out of affordable gear, you won’t have to stretch the budget to the extreme.

Next to fast movements, uncontrollable factors make it hard to achieve good results. Preparation is key. Master changing light and weather conditions, big locations and distance to your subject by extensive research and camera knowledge. If the subject is out of focus, post-processing won’t save it, so get to know different ways of dealing with fast movements to figure out the best way to translate the amazing feeling of seeing the subject passing by your camera lens with incredible speed.

Capture high-speed movements

Save time by using priority modes for sharp results

Switching to manual mode gives you full control over technical settings, but when capturing fast sport or wildlife action, there is limited time to set up basics such as aperture, ISO and shutter speed. To avoid missing those unique moments, spend time on settings and take advantage of priority modes.
