1. Use the burst mode on your camera as this allows you to track the players movements while taking continuous photographs. For amateur photographers this may mean you capture a photograph that you wouldn't have been able to capture otherwise.
2. Set your camera to aperture priority if this is possible. This will allow you to focus on the exposure and not have to worry about manually setting the shutter speed.
3. Shoot in jpeg. This may mean the photograph isn't as good quality as it would be in RAW but it does mean you are getting maximum buffer speed and so, will get the shots at the right time.
4. If you are shooting indoors, ensure your lens is f/2.8. This means you are getting a lot more light into the picture and at very high shutter speeds this is vital. Otherwise, ensure you have a fast telephoto zoom lens.
5. Use the image stabiliser setting. This means you can move around easily to frame the shot perfectly without having to worry about the image being blurred.
6. The subject must be in focus and and their eyes should be seen as this maximises the emotion captured in the shot.
Some of my favourite sports photographs of professional sports people:
I really enjoy sports photography as it captures the raw emotion on the faces of sports people and the power involved in sports. This allows the viewer to feel the emotion and almost be intrusively close to the sports person without actually intruding their space. This is clearly evident through the intensity in each moment which is captured so effortlessly and intriguingly.
