Feedback

To get good sports shots you have to know the sport you are shooting research the venue beforehand, at most sporting events you are not allowed to use flash so will need good glass to obtain good shots as your space will be limited. Usually it will be specific allocated areas at the event for photographers and will be required to have accreditation which you apply for before hand from the organisers. Stadium lighting is not always that good and it will also be how close you can get to the action. But the main thing is to know the sport you are shooting.
