7. TAKE GREAT SPORTS AND ACTION PHOTOS
The best advice for sports and action photographers is to get close to the action, either with a zoom lens or by walking right out onto the field. OK, OK, the sidelines will do, but you really can't get good shots from the stands. Get a faster film if you want to freeze the action, and if you are able to control shutter speed, try for 1/500th of a second for a freeze effect.A slower shutter speed can be effective by producing the "blur" effect of the subject or background, giving the feeling of speed or motion. To blur the background, pan with the moving subject and then snap while still moving.
