Location
This photo was made while shooting college volleyball as a freelancer.Time
Not sure but it’s in a gymnasium so doesn’t matter!Lighting
This is a newer gym so the light is pretty decent, auto white balance is usually a little off so I use a strip of gray paint on the floor to set a white balance.Equipment
Nikon D7100, 80-200Inspiration
Action photography might be my favorite type of photography. I shoot sports regularly and am always looking for that peak action shot. During a volleyball game I always spend some time focused on getting a diving for the ball shot.Editing
Usually just a simple color exposure check in Lightroom with a little sharpening.In my camera bag
For sports usually an 85, 300 and a wide angle on a separate body.Feedback
Learn the sport you’re covering and try as much as possible to anticipate the action and put yourself in the right spot to get it!
