Set Your White Balance for Indoor Sports to Fluorescent or Tungsten/Incandescent
With to shutter priority mode and shoot at a 1/640 Sec. Shutter Speed or Faster
Pre-Focus to Get the Shot
Raise Your ISO to Get the Speed You Need
Pan to Show Motion
Use a slow shutter speedideally, either 1/30 of a second or 1/60 of a second. So, switch
to shutter priority mode and set the shutter speed accordingly.
1.
Pan right along with your subject following them with your camera. Believe it or not, it's
the camera's motion that creates the blurring background, because you're trying to
move (pan) right along with the athlete so they remain sharp while everything around
them appears blurred.
2.
Use continuous shooting (burst) mode for your best chance to capture a sharp
shotcapturing multiple shots per second really pays off here.
3.
One important thing to remember: Don't stop panning when the athlete leaves your
frame continue panning for a couple of seconds afterwards to get a smooth release.
Shoot as close to your wide open aperture as possible.
1. This will blur the background, creating a more dramatic, dynamic, and uncluttered photo
of your subject.
2. You'll be able to shoot at faster shutter speeds, which will greatly help when shooting
indoors under artificial low-light situations.
