I can learn a lot from this. I always wanted to shot a sports photography and catch the best shot while they do their usual routine but I am still practicing on how to give the best one.

primes all the way

300mm f2.8 and 85mm f1.4, the the 24-70mm f2.8 for a bit more scope.

d3s is the best for indoor photos by far

Hey there guys, i am predominantly a wedding photogrpaher but i do enjoy sport photography. i use my favourite portrait lens Nikon 85mm F1.4 afs. possibly the best nikon has to date.

yer okay you might say that the 85mm F1.4 isnt much of a zoom? but if your low down and on the side of the pitch or court then the images are crisp sharp and has beautiful BOKEH and DOF.

longer shots i always use my 200mm F2.8 prime and converter if neccessary.

failing that the 70-200mm nikon f2.8 is still an amazing telephoto zoom.

dont always think zooms though incase the action is right inyour face then you will be wishing you brought your superwideangle.

for instance place in the top or bottom corners of a goal to get a totally different perspective.

Photography should be predictable and nor should you.

happy snapping guys

Good tips! I have tried shooting indoor sports. I did cover a street futsal match and like what you shared..everything’s fast paced and I have trouble keeping up with the movements on camera. These tips will help the next time I attempt sports photography.

Even when light levels are low and you’re shooting at wide open apertures, I recommend picking a spot where you get uncluttered backgrounds. Indoor arenas tend to have seating where the audiences are very close to the players, so backgrounds tend to be very cluttered.Thanks for sharing.

Shutter speed is indeed necessary! I recently photographed an indoor badminton tournament for my friend. I was totally unsatisfied with how some of my pictures turned out. Either I was too late to capture a perfect shot, or, I was too early because I was already anticipating being late for the shot. Of course, they wouldn’t break off the game until I could get my bearings

I do have one suggestion. Even when light levels are low and you’re shooting at wide open apertures, I recommend picking a spot where you get uncluttered backgrounds. Indoor arenas tend to have seating where the audiences are very close to the players, so backgrounds tend to be very cluttered.
