The key for successful sports photography is to know the structure of the game. You have to be familiar with the rules of the game to predict dramatic moments. You should also know the backgrounds of some of the key players and anticipate their contribution. Eg: If you know that Dhoni is about to attempt his first batting for an Indian team you should concentrate your telephoto lens on his unimportant preparations. In an instant, his face may reveal his nervousness that would make a good picture.
Types of sports assignments Sports action and sports feature are categories within the sports assignments.
Sports Action is a photograph of any moment that occurs on the playing field during the run of the game.
Most sports involve a ball and at least two opposing players. The best sports photographs not only show the ball, but reveal the determination in body language and facial expressions each player's struggle to out-perform the other.
