Touchdown Shouting Tips to Shoot Digital Photos of American Football Part 2

Part I of this article on taking “Touchdown!” shouting photos at football games discussed some advice on preparation before the game, tips on useful accessories to take to the game, plus suggestions on what features to look for when buying a digital camera to take to sporting events. Part II expands on this advice and mentions a few technical tweaks you should make in order to take great photographs.

6) Take Photos as Fast as Possible

Action in football happens fast. Especially if you’re sitting in the stands, the combination of fast action and hand-holding a digital camera often leads to blurry photos.

* Don’t shoot in RAW mode – use high-quality JPG. You may not notice a difference in picture quality, and shooting in JPG means your digital camera can save photos to memory faster, letting you take follow-up photos quicker.

* Shoot with the fastest possible shutter speed (usually adjustable by a digital camera’s “S” setting) that still results in photos not appearing too dark. If you mostly shoot in automatic mode, experiment by pushing your digital camera a step or two faster than what it recommends.

If you own a digital SLR and are allowed to bring it to the game, a faster lens may help increase the camera’s fastest possible shutter speed. This can add to the camera’s total cost, however.

In conjunction with this:

* Experiment by increasing your ISO sensitivity. Your ISO setting determines how sensitive your digital camera is to light. The higher the ISO (the default is usually 100), the faster you can adjust your shutter speed. However, a higher ISO will add some grain (noise) to your photo. Some prosumer digital cameras can shoot with 200 or even 400 with reasonable results; with a digital SLR you should be able to use an ISO setting of 800 and possibly higher.

7) Glance Over at the Sidelines

Not all of the action in a football game occurs on the field. Glance over at the sidelines once in a while when a team is in the huddle or in other breaks in the action such as TV time-outs. You might notice coaches interacting with their team, emotions running high after a great play or costly mistake, cheerleaders, or mascots, all of which can make interesting photo subjects.

Learn the Game and the Team

The more you understand the game of football and the teams playing, the better your compositions should be. You might not memorize every player’s name and a team’s entire playbook, but reading team rosters and scouting report won’t hurt.

Does a team have a pattern of running on first down and then throwing on second? Are they a deep-ball passing team or only using the pass for short yardage situations? Is the quarterback an analytical drop-back passer or likely to run if the pocket begins to collapse? On the defensive side are the players more likely to play zone or man-to-man?

As there are so many players on the field it is virtually impossible to take photos of every big play. By learning about the teams you will increase the likelihood of having your digital camera’s focus on the right player at the right time.

9) Prepare for the Unexpected

This is football and anything can and will happen. Don’t always put your digital camera down during a punting situation as you might miss a fake punt attempt. Fake quarterback spikes aren’t uncommon. Plus, interesting things can occur outside the realm of the actual game. Once at a game I attended at the Louisiana Superdome, the game was briefly halted as a small blimp-shaped balloon drifted onto the field!

Football is an exciting spectacle full of suspense, drama, and the unexpected. With so much going on over a 100-yard field, it is extremely difficult to position your digital camera at the right place and the right time to take great photos. However, with preparation, the right equipment, knowledge of your digital camera’s settings, and a bit of luck, you too can take digital photos at football games that will make your viewers shout “Touchdown!”

Radical Cheerleading $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Radical cheerleading is a form of cheerleading that originated in Florida, but has now spread across the United States as well as Canada, Europe and beyond. The idea is to ironically reappropriate the aesthetics of cheerleading, for example by changing the chants to promote feminism and leftwing causes. Many radical cheerleaders (some of whom are male, transgender or nongender identifie) are in appearance far from the stereotypical image of a cheerleader. Radical cheerleaders often perform at demonstrations. They also often perform at feminist and other radical festivals and events. Radical cheerleading is used at demonstrations to promote a radical message in a mediafriendly, peoplefriendly way. It is also used to support the actions of other activists who put themselves at physical risk and to denounce infiltrators and opponents.

National Football League Cheerleading $92.4 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles National Football League Cheerleading, or simply NFL Cheerleading, is a professional cheerleading league in the United States. For many NFL teams, their franchise also includes a cheerleading squad. Cheerleaders are a popular attraction that can give a team more coverage/airtime, popular local support and increased media image. For the NFL, The Baltimore Colts were the first team in the NFL to have cheerleaders in 1954. They were also a part of the Baltimore Colts Marching Band. According to most NFL cheerleading sites, cheerleading is classified as a parttime job. However, this parttime job is a substantial commitment of time for practice, camp, games, appearances, photo shoots, and charity events. Most often, cheerleaders have completed or are attending a university, and continue on to other careers after cheering for an average of 14 seasons.
