8 Photos im Submitting

This photo was taken at 1/320th of a second

This Photo was taken at 1/400th of a second

This photo was taken at 1/13th of a second with a ISO of 800

This photo was taken at 1/6th of a shutter speed with a ISO of 100 becuase of the light from the flood lights inside the stadium

These are the photos I'm planning on submitting on the 12/12/18. My strongest two are number 3 and 4 because they really show the emotion and passion on the players faces. the quality of the photos really shine through because of the lighting struggles being played under floodlights and having a short lens isn't very helpful either. some of the problems I encountered while doing this was the fact I had to use a smaller lens then the majority of people because I was using my flatmate's camera and the lens is 18mm to 70mm instead of the 7mm to 130mm the university provided.

University of South Wales vs Cardiff Met 2nd

Below are photos I've taken while reporting on the USW rugby firsts vs Cardiff Met 2nds some of these photos are blurry, out of focus and way to close and major of the photos are underexposed but can be rescued in photoshop using the brightness enhancer.

Slow Shutter Speed

The photos above are all example of me trying slow shutter speed photos while doing the technique of panning this techneqiue is used for creating a motion blurr behind your target an example of this is photo number one with my target being the leader of the race and the people next to hin are blurred. this creates an effect of speed with the riders.

What do photographers use?

I found a Youtube video from a channel that specialises in sports photography called Chris Winter, who has his own website which shows off his work that isn't shown on his Youtube where he went and talked about the best equipment to use for the job depending on the situation obviously.

Sports Photographers - Bob Martin Adrian Dennis

The first sports photographer I looked at before starting my photography was Bob Martin who from looking at some of his photos specialises in a shallow depth of field for most of his photos examples above. These photos were all taken from http://www.bobmartin.com/gallery/test-gallery/.

These photos are all a very effective use of a shallow depth of field as they make you focus on what's important in the photos instead of looking into the background at something irrelevant.

The second sports photographer I looked at was Adrian Dennis, looking through his work I realise that some of this slow shutter speed shots were really interesting. With slow shutter speeds, you get the effect of how fast the person I going. These photos above are from http://adriandennis.com/sport/
