8:12 Focusing not on the action, but on everything else is a great exercise. Always appreciative of you sharing your tips and knowledge Miller. Thank you
Thank you for your lessons, I live in Russia and we have no one to shoot and do not understand how to shoot American football, but there are good teams. And thanks to you, I'm getting better every time! Thanks for the inspiration!
I just watched your video on shooting soccer again and realized that you did talk about aperture priority as your mode of choice for soccer. So, scratch that question off the list. Thanks.
Thank you for this! Really great info on my favorite sport to shoot. I would love to see a video on post processing. I have culling & captioning pretty well down in Photo Mechanic but would love to see how you do cropping, sharpening and resizing for output.
Thank you for the insight! Much appreciated. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind answering a question about focusing. For example, let's say the Rams are in the red zone. Todd Gurley breaks through the line of scrimmage and is headed right towards you. You are set up in the corner of the end zone with a 70-200mm. Can you adjust the focal length on the fly while tracking and maintaining focus? Or, would you keep the lens at a fixed distance? Thanks again...
Thanks for passing on your experiences. When a team is in the red zone, do you ever shoot from behind the line of scrimmage, to better show the face of a receiver catching a TD pass or do you stay in the end zone corner for a possible running back score? What goes into your decision-making process in the red zone?
Great video. I have a couple questions. I don't shoot much football but I do shoot a lot of soccer. You mentioned that you want the sun to the back of the players when you shoot football. I always thought when I shoot soccer I should have the sun behind me so it will illuminate the players faces. Is that wrong? Also, do you shoot in manual or aperture priority mode. And would that change for a day game or night game. Well since I'm asking I ask one more. I have a choice to shoot with a single focus point or a group of 9 points. Which one would you choose. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Again, great video. All of them are really informative.
Aperture priority for day usually manual for night.Sun behind the players when it is high. Football players wear helment, as do baseball players and golfers wear caps or visors.. High sun casts nasty shadows on their faces. Soccer players play bareheaded, so you can get away with more high light.depending on your lens, I'd probably go with 9 points unless you are super tight.
Thanks so much for the information. If I could ask you just one more question it would be very helpful. What did you mean when you said "you can get away with more high light depending on your lens?" Thanks.
@@kentaufderheide8454 If you have a lens that goes goes down to 2.8, then that will allow more light into the sensor. As a result, you can "open the lens" and still use a faster shutter speed. look up Exposure Triangle online.
Canon anti-flicker does NOT correct color due to cycling lighting. what it does is to pause the shutter until sufficient lighting is available despite the color rendering of the cycling lights. Of course, with over 100 lights in stadiums, they do not flicker synchronously. LED lighting is best for steady white light. I always leave the anti-flicker disabled-I don't ever want my shutter to pause during a peak action moment. I will correct the color mismatch in post.
Wisdom of the wise, thank you.

You might not have American Football, but surely you have other sports? Don't think pro, think local, amateur games.
Thank you for the great tips and reminders! Get low... shoot fast... and have fun.
Peter great tips. I love the idea about giving myself an assignment what knee pads do you recommend I have tried a bunch but nothing great.
So much wonderful information. Thank you for making these videos!!

Funny that the gear videos get 10 x as many views when the shooting tips make more difference to your photos than any piece of gear will
Amen to that. Gear helps, but if you don't know what you're doing...
