Mark is right on the money - man, you want to frame as tight as possible in-camera. And your framing should reflect your final product. I sell more 5x7 and 4x6 than 8x10. So I shoot with 2x3 in mind. More often then not I still need to do some cropping and when I do, I do that with 8x10 in mind - so I try to leave enough space for a tight 8x10 crop. If I sold more 8x10s I'd leave more space in the photos. So, I guess I'm saying: Plan your shoot by deciding the types of shots you want and where you need to position yourself to get them. And, what orientation the camera needs to be in for you to get the shot you want. In general, if you have enough space in your image to change the orientation in post processing and still keep your entire subject in the photo then you didn't frame tight enough in-camera. This is not to say you might not decide to take a portrait shot of the full subject and crop out a landscape view of the torso. But if you have enough image to take a landscape crop of the entire player then you need tighter framing in-camera. By the way Mark - good stuff. I like the chaos in shot # 1 ![]() |

Thanks John..... oh shot one was exciting time but they managed to keep it out which was good, mainly that their own player was in the way LOL.
You are right about spending time to plan shots and get the angle you want, as you eluded in another thread the sort of shooting done when not shooting for papers/magazines (as with these) then my goal is to get good action of as many players as possible so I can make sales. The downside of this is you have to use shots that would normally hit the 'cutting room floor' for other uses. |

Mark,
I have never seen a field hockey match, nor do I know anything at all about it, but I'm assuming from what I see that it is extremely high speed. With that play speed in mind, do you focus on an area of the field and wait for play to develop in it, or do you try to pan to the area of action? Shooting in Aperture priority mode? What kind of shutter speed? (I couldn't read EXIT data.) I can only admire the quality of your technique and always enjoy your shots. Thanks for sharing. |

As for settings (sorry these were taken straight from my website to the exif is stripped) every shot was between 1/2000s and 1/4000s so things are very sharp thanks to the lovely light. Have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHeHHis224Ywhich gives some idea of the game (not in English but the action speaks for itself). |
