Basketball season is just about over for the year. It used to be one of my least favorite sports to shoot, but I’ve learned a lot over the past two months. If you find yourself in a similar situation – trying to figure out how to capture some awesome photos…
A few weeks ago, I picked up a Canon Digital Rebel XT on eBay. It was part of a lot, and I didn’t really need it… but it turned out that I was able to use it as an extra body at the 2011 William Paterson University Fashion Show. All…
Aside from the exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), there are a number of other important things to think about when using your camera. A lot of the time, you may not need to worry about them. But, when I go out to take photos at a sporting event, there…
I was looking through the Google Analytics data today, and I came across this question that someone had searched for: Is the Canon 85mm f/1.8 a good lens for night football photography? I own a Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens. I love it, for certain things. Night football photography is not…

Photo by: richseow. Found this pic in the recent uploads of Flickr. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, but when I saw a little thumbnail of a sports pic I thought I’d check it out and see if it was any good. Turned out to be a decent shot…
Photo by: jajjen. Nice pic. The bird is in crisp focus. No blur (other than the bokeh background). One of the comments mentions some panning, but I’m not sure I see it. This was clearly shot in some pretty harsh sun, and there was likely a very quick shutter speed…
Photo by Micah Camara. Very cool picture. The quick shutter speed freezes the water in place. It’s nifty how the water splays out into a near perfect circle, too. Looks like a nice beach to hang out on, too. Nicer than the Jersey shore…
