Does anyone here do sports or soccer photography? Can you guide me on how to get the best pictures with a Canon Eos 600D? I'm using a 18-135mm lens.
The most important before u go out and shoot is to read up your manual and understand your camera features. As for the lens u mentioned, I would say since u are not sure if the lens is suitable then u should bring it along and try it out to see what u are missing. Because if u asked about the lens,I would say any lens can be used and its up to u on what kind of shots u want to achieve. There is no right or wrong.
I take photos of my boyfriend playing soccer with his colleagus from work. Sometimes they have friendly games with other companies and from what i understand there is a tournament coming up.
I doubt i'll be able to get a new set of lens soon but i'd really like to know whats the price like for a 70mm-300mm at least. I have been thinking of getting new lens for sports photography and also portraits. Thanks for the advice guys!
Other than equipments mentioned above, would also remind to get a good spot. Most of the heart-stopping actions happen within or around the penalty area, so you might want to camp not to far away from there (also depending on your equipment). If you can camp not far from the goal post, 18-135mm on APSC is just nice. Also, might be good to sometimes spot the skillful players and video-record them. Some skills are better enjoyed in motion Btw what kind of soccer do you play ah? Full-size? If mini soccer then 18-135mm focal length should do
What is APSC?
Canon has two lines of lenses: The normal lenses for consumers and the high end lenses for professional photographers. The latter one have the famous red ring near the front element.What do you mean by L and non-L version?
What is APSC?
Fully agreed. There are still the options of renting different lenses, too.However I would not advise on getting the 70-300L if you are not super into photography since one should not pay so much for a lens in most cases.
