Fast, Split Second Photography
W e have all at one time or another been captivated by sports images. It may be Kirk Gibson’s World Series Homerun and the image of him running the bases, overcoming the pain he was in or an image of high flying Michael Jordan slam dunking a basketball with his tongue out. We have all been captured in the moment of human drama. We all like a good action photo and, in particular, if your kids play sports, you want to remember them in their toils.
Quality sports shots are somewhat difficult to come by. Most people have limited access to events to photograph them. The further away you are from the event, the harder it becomes to capture the event in a pleasing manner. Sports are an event where crowd control is important, not only for the crowd’s safety, but for the players also.
I use state of the art equipmentCanon 7D and Canon 5d Mark II, Portable Strobes & Power to capture that exact moment in the game that most would miss. Using fast telephoto lenses, 8FPS image bursting cameras, and the latest memory cards, no moment will go by without being caught in the highest detail.
