Tips for sport photography

Here are some basic tips to keep in mind when photographing most sports.

-Use ISO 400 film or set your digital camera to ISO 400 - The extra "film speed" will give you a faster shutter speed, which you usually need to get a sharp action image. Some of the newer dSLRs will even give excellent results at ISO 800 or 1600.
-Use the aperture-priority shooting mode - As a general rule, using aperture priority is the most reliable way to shoot sports, as long as you stay aware of what the shutter speed is. Use the widest available aperture, so you'll get the fastest shutter speed.
-Set your camera auto focus to "servo" mode - At least that's what it's called on Canon cameras. It's the mode where as long as you push the shutter half-way down, the camera will continually focus. This allows you to follow the action and take your shot whenever you feel the moment is right.
-Set your metering mode to full frame - Other photographers may argue this point, but I've found the full frame metering mode to be most reliable when shooting sports. I also shoot with an exposure compensation of 1/2-stop under. While in this full-frame mode, I try to make sure to keep the sun behind me. If you're forced to shoot into the sun, you may want to switch to a spot metering mode.
-Know the sport - It pays to learn as much as you can about the sport you are going to photograph. For example, if you know what is about to happen during a penalty kick in soccer, you'll know you have an opportunity to catch the goalie in a great action shot.
