The Basics of Photographing Sports in Low Light

Techniques for Capturing Sports Shots in Low Light

This is a book about photographing sports in low light. I’m talking about basketball in the gym, martial arts at a dojo, water polo inside, and night football games under the lights. Photographing these sports is one of the hardest things to do because you need to use action-stopping shutter speeds without a lot of light. This means using lenses that open as wide as possible and ISO settings that can introduce a lot of digital noise. This book covers techniques to help you get that ideal sports shot in low light—and hopefully have some fun along the way.
