By George Sippy


Many parents love seeing their children running up and down and doing a bit of tricks during Saturday exercises. Taking photographs of their activity usually end in getting unclear back pictures of your children. This post will provide you with tips on how to take photos of the kid during his football competition, soccer game or gymnastics flawlessly.

Mastering the features of your digital camera is the best way to have good shots at your kids sport activity. You can actually take perfect shots if you know the features and settings of your camera. It is important that you have read the instruction manual included in the package of your camera. Know the settings that you need to use most of the time and check out which will help you capturing a fast moving activity.

In case there is no instruction guidelines included in the box you can search for it online by using the model of your camera as well as the name of the manufacturer. Consider the setting and the location of the event your child will be participating. If the basketball game will be held indoor at night you need a different setting as compared to taking pictures in soccer game outdoor in the midmorning.

Now that you are familiar with your camera you need to find a good spot to stand to take the shots. Look for a good spot with the sun or most of the light sources is at your back. By doing this you don't have to use the flashes in making shots and the faces of the players will have a natural appearance at the light source.

Some of the best place to take the shots is at the sidelines or better yet under the basket where the scores are made. It is important that you are in a safe area and you need to follow the rules of the referee all the time. Photos with story to tell are considered as the best shots. When playing in the field or court it is important that you take great shots like players having their warm up for the game or the playing court itself.

Some of the amazing shots include watchers, coaches and players discussing and children playing and roaming around the field. In case you are into kids sport photography, you need to have an imaginative mind. Taking shots of your kid's feet as they are having their meeting in the huddle before the game is also a good shot to start.
