Fast Shutter Speed is Crucial

SUMMARY: Prevent your sports photography from becoming blurry.Bookmark and Share

Set your digital camera's shutter speed as fast as possible to handle photographs with the available light. This reduces the chance of 'camera shake' if you are unable to use a tripod. Also, actions occur in the blink of an eye and you don't want your photograph to be so blurry that you cannot recognize the players or movement. Granted, selective blurring can result in intriguing photos, but you also want the ability to take fast, crisp, clean shots.

Study your digital camera manual for assistance in changing the shutter speed. Then at the event, practice a few shots before the game starts to ensure you have enough lighting to support faster shutter speeds. You don't want your photographs looking all washed out. The more available light, the faster you should be able to shoot with your digital camera. And, of course, correct use of flash can also allow you to use faster shutter speeds.
