Digital Sports Photography - Know the Game or Event

SUMMARY: A little research in a sporting event can go a long way into taking better photos.

Before you plan on taking photographs at a sporting event, it is crucial to know the rules of the game. Understand where players are positioned, where players are more likely to move following a particular action, and anticipate when the action speeds up or slows down in anticipation of someone else's action. If you understand the game, you are more likely to know where to focus your camera's lens at a particular time, giving you a better chance to be directed at the proper place to record a memorable event.
