Canon Master Phil Hillyard has been a professional sports photographer for over 20 years and shares his tips and tricks with a Dad wanting to capture memories of his son playing school rugby.
In this video you can learn more about the camera settings and gear he recommends to use for sports photography. He also shares some insightful tips about composition and lighting.
Sports photography is one of the most physically demanding forms of photography. Whether you’re shooting ball-sports like rugby and football, or extreme action sports like mountain biking and snowboarding, there’s a lot of running around.
For a detailed list of tips and camera settings for sports photography visit:
F2.8 iso 1250 at at 3200 shutter. Why not bump down the iso a scooch? In the rush or is this combo a sweet spot on that camera body?
Awesome information, thanks for that. As a beginner these types of videos I find very helpful. Just had a couple questions if you don’t mind. So you start in AV mode and lock you shutter high? Your ISO just adjusts itself?
Thanks
Love that comment! “His mother will love that!”… classy mate!
Great stuff here!
Comment at 6:10 "We've got a fair bit of editing to do.." Story of most photographers lives..1hr event..4 hrs in front of PC..LOL
Sensational informative video Well done Phil it is nice to see Professionals sharing their wealth of Knowledge
Great vídeo
I think this shows why the Aussies beat us Brits so often as much as it shows us photography. Even at schoolboy level it means so much, how often do our schoolboys have a crowd?
Thanks for this video guys !
Guys this is really awesome. I am a teenage video-maker and amateur photographer from Poland. I am currently saving up money to buy an 800d for my video work and stills. That dual pixel AF and 45 cross type points will be great for my commercial work also your lines selection is amazing. Hope that this body paired with 50mm f 1,4 and 28mm f 2.8 will give me some stunning results. Take your time and develop a really good 4K codec for your budget dslrs and you will be second to none Canon!
