For me: 1. know your sport 2. know the rules of your sport for breaks 3. where is the action? 4. can i sit or have to stand 5. do i have the ok from the club to take pics 6. sandwiches drinks with me - my batteries 😊 7. cleaning stuff with me 8. weather conditions 9. cover for lenses and camera 10. go to the restroom before the game begins 11 my shoes my clothes correct for the weather 12 good mood 13 be about 40 minutes before there 14 train your settings and movements of your tool at home 15 finally go there and have fun! 🤗🇨🇭
One other tip would be get a reasonable idea of what the weather is likely to be during the game, you don’t want to be caught out by a rain shower and risk your kit and/get drenched and uncomfortable
I was thinking I Know his face then it clicked, TRFC. I was the guy just starting out when Hartlepool United came this season. Keep up with the videos all the information it great for a new starter like me. 👏🏻👏🏻
I love your tips, I have bean taking sport photograph for same time now, the tips and all the background info is just great, that could be a video, how to sell and offer, thats a good video. thank again for the tips
This was a great help to me as I have my 1st amature leage game next week in my local city, I'm shooting for Carlisle City fc. I did notice you have shot at Carlisle utd before atls you showed an image at Braunton Park explaining keeping you images straight.
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you found it helpful. Yes, I've shot at Carlisle Utd twice I think, maybe three times. Really enjoyable place to shoot, press are well looked after, people are friendly and the drive up there is beautiful in good weather! Good luck for the game!
Great little video with some great tips. I am a rank amateur who takes pictures for my local rugby union side and this will certainly help, I’d love to be able to send you some I’ve taken to see what you think? I’ve used a Nikon D5100 with a 70-300 Nikkor lens until recently when I’ve got myself a Tamron 18-400 lens. My camera body died last weekend so I’ve upgraded to a Nikon D7100 going forward.
Hi Steve, so sorry for the late reply, I'm so bad at finding the time to respond to all the comments. Of course, happy to take a look at some snaps. If you want to email a link to your portfolio or attached a few snaps to the email, send to info@talru.com. Thansk
This was a great to the point video! I’ve been shooting more video and sport promo videos but have recently been Getting into more sports photography and this was helpful. Thanks for the added value!
Good tips and well-presented. But you use a very broad term, "action sports" to describe a very narrow slice of the pie, namely action sports invoving balls. Remember the old TV slogan "Wide world of sports?" There's auto sports, boat racing, water sports, sailing, snow sports, diving, sky diving, gymnastics, swimming, and many more. The point of bringing this up is that your technique list, while great for field/ball sports, doesn't apply to action sports universally.
Hi Alan, yeah it's a great point. I do get wrapped up in football a little much! I have done some other videos touching on other types of sports (motorsport, cycling, wind surfing, etc), but they are definitely a different approach required!

I can't argue with any of that! Good advice

Haha hi mate, glad you like the vids and good to meet you earlier this season! Hope the games are going well for you.
I love taking futbol pictures of my son and teammates, thank you for the tips, need to learn how to get out of the auto mode but one step at the time.

Brilliant tips 👏 👌
Your triangle at the one minute mark is incorrect. ISO values should be swapped.

Hey don’t mean to offend if I do, but the diagram you’ve used for the exposure triangle is incorrect on the iso side
👏👏👏
