(Image: https://www.foodiesfeed.com/page/1/1200)When you shoot video, you have to stabilize your camera or you will almost always have the “blair witch” look to your shots. This can be used to great artistic extremes, but for your general video work, you want to make sure your shots are actually in focus most of the time. While the reach I got was nuts, and the background compression was incredible, a close review of the images after the fact revealed many of the shots I thought I “nailed” were actually soft and the sharp focus was just not there.

Looking back through my images, I found my hit rate much lower when working with primes, and even some really good shots, needed a lot of cropping in post to get the look I wanted. I'll try to write a few different posts about shooting the Games, but this one is going to be specifically focused on shooting with long lenses, and trying (and sometimes failing) to get good results using them. To get your images to stand out in a stack of other images from the same event, try taking the harder shots - zoomed tight and into the action.

This is how you can get some really unique images while shooting from the exact same position as every other shooter. Something I always try and think about when shooting in this sort of environment is trying to get shots other people aren't shirt printing dubai (click through the next page). The Tennis Stadium is an incredibly unique shooting environment with the action so close, and the conditions so easy to shoot in. When you look to your left and right there are dozens of cameras - some professional, some just part of the spectators', but you'll also notice most people are using very similar lenses.

The angles I had on Froning for example, to my left, I thought were actually more interesting in some cases than shooting athletes in the lane right in front of me. You can also see me dump my camera towards the end of some of those takes, that's because I'm switching over to a 24-70 to grab those finishing shots. You can see just how quick the athletes are moving and how fast you have to make decisions about which lane to shoot and which lifts to focus on. I also think its important to realize that sometimes the best shot isn't the one straight in front of you.
