Sports Photography

     Sports photography is very, very common. From professional athletes getting pictures taken of them, to little kids running around on their parks teams, it is everywhere. It is very good to know, especially for parents of children who play sports. Moms and dad's want to capture these moments forever and it can sometimes be hard to get a good shot, especially when in action. The first step to getting a good sports photo is finding the right camera. A DSLR camera (digital single lens reflex camera ) is highly recommended. This camera includes a fast lens, so you are able to get your shot, and premium image quality and versatility. Two of the best ones are a Canon EOS 80D DSLR camera, and a Nikon D3300 DSLR camera which you can find at your local Best Buy. 

      Another tip to getting a good action shot, is being close to the even. The further you are away from the event, the blurrier the picture. It is best to be familiar with the spot you are shooting at so you know the best angles and positions to get the picture you are hoping for.

     Pictures can make a memory last forever. It is great that we have the technology advances that can help us with that!

Photography: White Balance

     There are many aspects to taking good, high quality pictures. Anyone can take pictures, even if you aren't experienced at all. A little research can take you a long way. There are many things people struggle with. For example, understanding the concept of white balance. White balance is the color balance on a digital camera. It is not the quality of light but is the color of light. It is when you take a picture that comes out a different color or a different way then what you see in person. The picture may have a different color tint to it.  No worries, there are ways to fix it through editing. Correcting color issues is generally very easy. It doesn't ruin the picture, and even greater, you don't have to be a pro at editing!

( Example of white balance editing )
    As you can see above, the picture on the left is the original picture taken. It is a good picture of the building, but it is not what the photographer is seeing with their own eyes. After a quick edit, the photographer was able to make the picture look like what he/she saw in person.
    The easiest way to figure out how to fix your picture is by going to youtube and watching a video. If you are not a visual learner, you can google search how to and read about what you need to know. 
    This is just one of the many things that comes along with being a skilled photographer!
