Blog Post 2
Hey everyone,
With
something like Sports Photography, sharing stories and pictures can be of great
use. To learn, to awe, or to discuss photography are a few ways to get better at
photography; to inspire ideas. Luckily, we’re in a world that has no shortage
of sporting events and photographers that take photos at these sporting events,
so this creates a lot of opportunity for growth and inspiration. Here are 5
sports blogs that I follow and why I recommend them.
#1. The
first sports photography blog I follow and would recommend is “The Sports
Photographers Blog” by Zamani Feelings. This blog hasn’t been updated for a few
years, but it is an excellent reference for all things sports photography.
There are instructions out the wazoo on how to do everything from recommended
camera settings to instructions on how to edit your pictures. This blog has
some excellent information and is indisposable for a photographer who needs
some help here and there.
#2. The
second blog I recommend is the “sports photography: How To” blog from
Shutterbug. Shutterbug is one if top destinations for all things photography,
so it should come as no surprise that they also have a sports photography blog
section. This blog has hundreds of pictures and occasional discussion on
sporting event photography. These beautiful pictures capture the incredible
pace and ferocity of sports and inspire me to capture better photos. There are also,
of course, more than a few tips and tricks articles that help expand any aspiring
photographers’ repertoire.
#3. Thirdly,
the Reddit sports photography blog is an excellent location for tips and
feedback. On here, you’re able to post a photograph or series of photographs
and discuss the pictures with other users. You can get quick feedback on your own
pictures and give feedback for others. You’re able to view others photographs
and learn from them as well.
#4. The
Sports Photography blog on at-edge.com features a more personal approach to the
athletes. Rather than focus on the activity or sport being played, this blog
tends to focus on the athlete. Of course, there are photos of the action itself
as well. This blog is great for learning how to capture portraits and
presenting the athlete’s raw off field life. They feature articles and pictures
from ESPN, The Wall-Street Journal, and others.
#5.
Finally, Sports Photo 101 is an essential blog for learning to photograph
sports. Much like #1 on my list, this blog focuses on the do’s and don’ts of
sports photography. It also focuses on how to and what to do for certain
events. It is an incredibly useful blog for developing an eye for the sports
photograph and rounding out skills.
These
blogs are exceptionally useful for learning and developing skills for taking
sports photographs. They’re able to incite creativity. To see a picture that
really stands out and to tell yourself “I have to try that!” Viewing other’s
works help to expand a photographer’s skill-base and grow their brand. I would
use these blogs as a frame of reference for growing my brand, as well.
