Capturing sports is all about timing, and the right subject matter.  Master these and shoot at the best times of day and you are well on your way to capture amazing images. For this shoot I wanted to capture cool and unique longboarding images that showcase excitement and speed without using motion blur.  With any shoot it's all about location and talent first.  Scouting ahead is highly recommended.  This includes both...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again….  Competitions are possibly the best way to experiment and capture tons of amazing angles.  They allow you to shoot the top tier athletes on all kinds of features and provide great accessibility.  That being said, if you haven't had a chance to shoot one yet, I highly recommend finding the next competition for the sport you would like to shoot and...

Shots composed between trees or other objects always have an extra kick of excitement.  When you take great action, and add some branches, the image is taken up from level 10, and cranked all the way to 11!
