Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

For sports activities fans, there’s nothing more interesting than sporting events persons playing their favourite game. The view of the field, rink or golf route initiates the delight and anticipation. This, united with digital sports photography, can give a few remarkable photographic possibilities. However it is actually not a issue of pointing the digital camera at the person diving for the ball and kicking it which it is actually considerably more complicated.

In digital sports photography sporting events it can be pretty difficult . The sporting events natives do not have an easy assignment of being shooted because of the quantity of greater movement. Nevertheless, you can definitely accomplish large sporting events digital photography. Generally admirable sporting events digital photography demands good development and execution.

Here are some nice tips for gaining brilliant sports activities photographies in your digital sports photography.

Primary things essential; know your digital camera. I recommend taking note and practicing primary all the options that sports activities photography required. You might find yourself going for the quicker shutter speed, amplified ISO and burst mode. Let’s catch a look at a few things on your digital camera and distinguish how they can be practical to produce you incredible sports activities shots.

As with all moving things, so as to catch the “still” look in digital sports photography a fast shutter speed is required. The quicker the development the rapid the shutter speed will need to become. In digital sports photography the general consensus is that the shutter speed is necessary to be faster than that of the character. For example if you have a sliding puck across ice and there is a someone about to take a dive for it in that case it is vital to promptly mentally analyse how fast that anyone might be traveling at. If they are traveling at just about fifty kilometers (approx thirty two miles) per hour in that case you may discover a incredibly quick shutter speed is required for this digital picture.

A incredibly rapid shutter speed in digital sports photography may perhaps be everything from 500th of a second or higher. For greater speed development you may perhaps need to bear in mind an even quicker shutter velocity of a thousand of a second or anything in that range.

Remember that there are digital photography classes which will teach that a fast shutter speed works to lower several of the luminosity which is why a higher ISO is frequently essential. Generally a if a ball, for example a baseball ready at approximately 145 kilometers an hr a shutter speed of around 1/4000 will obtain you that “balanced ball in mid air” type of photo. For bodily progress, such as the subject leaping to get a hold of a football, a shutter speed of 1/500 or more is a good situation to begin.

Capture the Moment!

Your Boat is Ready!

Originally uploaded by dgmiami

During my current trip to Alabama, I took a ride into Oak Mountain State Park on what most considered a horrible rainy afternoon. While driving through, I saw a lake to my right and was fortunate enough to find that NO ONE was around! Their loss, my gain…

When I came around the corner, I saw a beautiful clash of colorful paddle boats and canoes sitting at the dock. The amount of color was just too much to walk away from, so I parked in the empty lot, put on the best lens I had with me, and walked out to the dock looking for the right angle to get this capture.

All I can say is walk around your subject until you can see what you really want to capture. I never imagined I would stand where I did to capture this shot. But, it was the best for lighting and color. Time was also on my side when the sky opened up and I caught the gorgeous blue sky with gray and white clouds just above the tree line. Don’t stay in if it is raining, you never know what you will find!

Shooting Pictures from the Air

Miami From Above – Residential Islands and Miami Beach

Originally uploaded by dgmiami

First and foremost, a very big thank you goes out to my buddy Ross at www.floridaphoto.com for a great flight on a perfect afternoon yesterday. Can’t wait to do it again!

Last time I went flying with Ross I had a Sony DSC-H1. The pics came out ok, but back then I was a pure point-and-shoot kinda guy. No manual settings, everything was set to automatic. The pictures came out fine, but nothing like the ones from yesterday using manual settings on my 450D!

I started out trying to shoot at ISO 100, then 200, only to find out that my shutter speed was way too slow for what I wanted to capture. Based upon his suggestions, I made some adjustments and all I can say is THANKS – it definitely made a difference in the sharpness of the pics.

Another thing I learned is that next time, I won’t be attempting to use my circular polarizer AND I will wear a dark color shirt to minimize the reflections from the inside of of the window on my side. Of course, one of those nifty holes in the window on the other side will help as well Ross – LOL.

If you are looking for aerial photography around South Florida – take a look at Ross’ site mentioned at the opening of this entry. If he doesn’t already have what you want, you won’t be disappointed with his work!

Geotagging your pictures

Sunday, January 4th, 2009


Another sunrise photo in Miami

Originally uploaded by dgmiami

Most of the pictures that I have posted to my Flickr account have been geotagged. That is, they have information attached to them which gives the location of where the photo was taken at.

Geotagging can happen without much interaction if you use a GPS enabled phone to take pictures and upload them to a photo sharing service like the one I use. The picture of this cruise ship at sunrise was obviously taken in Miami, but what if you wanted to take a similar picture when you are in this area? By clicking on the picture and then scrolling down to the “Additional Information” on the bottom right of the photo page, you will see a link to the map for that picture.

As long as the photographer has allowed geotagging, or manually adds pictures to the Flickr map, you will get a pretty good idea of where the picture was taken from.

One caution about leaving geotagging “on” at all times… Remember that if you don’t want people to know where you live, work, or frequent, you may want to think twice about using it. Like I mentioned, MOST of my stuff is mapped, but some things just aren’t!
