Digital Sports Photography

Arrive Early for Practice Time

SUMMARY: Great digital photos can sometimes be taken while a team is practicing for the game.

Consider showing up at a sporting event an hour or so early. Not only does this give you time to configure your digital camera for the available lightning, you can take advantage of teams practicing before a game.

* Baseball hitters love showing off at batting practice.

* At basketball shootarounds, you can get photos of your stars as they sink shots or, in some cases, perform slam-dunks.

* At warm-ups, you can take photos of your favorite star stretching out or exercising.

Taking these digital photos can provide you with photography practice, and they also make it easier to get photos of your favorite stars, something that is harder to do during the fast pace of a game.
