    Most events will not let you set up a tripod on the sidelines to shoot an event, those are considered a safety hazard to the players / officials. A mono pod is acceptable, leave your tripod at home. The monopod can also assist with keeping some smoothness as you are panning while tracking a moving subject.

      I find a monopod is harder for me to pan because I spin myself into a dutch angle from time to time with it. but with anything larger than a 300, its necessary so you dont break your back.

    I noticed the same focusing performance when I borrowed a D5 and compared it to my D850 and D500. The D5 was night and day "stickier" than the D850 and D500. Once the D5 acquired focus it just kept it on the subject as long as I could keep the focus point on the subject. Especially with the faster moving subjects. I'm totally sold on it, and hope to be getting my hands on a D5/6 soon.

    I think you just helped me resolve the issue I have (especially with hockey shoots) where my images are sharp in the wrong area. Your basketball player example was great. It didn't occur to me that a player leaning over could throw off the image because of the shallow depth of field at 2.8. I have several images where the jersey is tack sharp but the face is slightly blurred.

    Where to focus has been an issue for me in the past. So many times I hear, "focus on the chest", but when shooting cycling or rugby, the head is further forward than the chest, so the face is not going to be in focus. Also in rugby you have more chance that way of focusing on the ball. I tend to aim for the face in both of these sports, although in cycling you do have to time your shutter to when they look up, as often they are looking down. I also realised recently that I was firing away before focus had locked on. I changed this by just slowing myself down a little, wait for focus to lock, then shoot. My in focus photo count rose quite dramatically after this. Now I just have to concentrate on keeping my focus point on the face. Something to work on. 😄Great video. Thank you. 👍

    • @JackBeasleyMedia
      @JackBeasleyMedia  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm a reluctant to set high adjustment levels for JPEGs in camera, as you can't back them off when you edit the image. At best I add a point or two. But, if it works, I might have to give it a try.

    You offer such helpful information. Have you ever considered doing a video on your workflow from start to finish? I know you’ve shared your process (culling using photo mechanic, Topaz DeNoise, and editing in Lightroom) I would just appreciate seeing you work through these steps. I’m using photo mechanic for culling then editing in LR but for whatever reason, using DeNoise is making me nervous. Plug-In or stand alone software, before or after editing LR, etc. it’s more than I feel comfortable figuring out through trial and error. Thanks again for you thorough and thoughtful content.

    Brilliant video mate! Definitely have a clearer idea on how to improve my action photography. I've been using a Canon M50 MK ii with surf and skateboard photography and I'm probably going to upgrade to a Canon M6 MK ii very soon cause it has more FPS when shooting action and better autofocus.
    I've been shooting some of my skateboarding shots close up with my Sigma 30mm F 1.4. It's a great lense and I really like the shots I've been taking. However, there are a number of occasions when I can't get to focus on the face and maybe it's because I've been shooting at F1.4. I know that the lense is at its sharpest around F4, but would you recommend stopping down between F2 or F2.8 to get a balance between overall sharpness while maintaining a shallow depth of field?
    Thanks 👍

    Awesome video. I've only recently started shooting sports and I never would have thought to adjust where my focusing points are. Any opinions on using some of the more AI based autofocus methods? For example, my R6 MkII will let me choose between prioritizing eyes or people, so I'm assuming that choice would come down to if the sport involves helmets/eyegear.

    • @JackBeasleyMedia

    • @JackBeasleyMedia
      @JackBeasleyMedia  ปีที่แล้ว

      As long is the flash output is bright enough, and significantly overpowers the ambient light, you’ll freeze the action. But, you have to have a low enough ISO or a high enough aperture to reduce the ambient light to the point where it’s not a factor.

    Very useful tips, especially on shutter speed settings. Thanks for sharing! Quick questions on custom settings and VR: when setting the minimum shutter speed (in the menu where you select the min/max Iso). Say you are shooting a 100mm lens, would set min shutter speed at 1/50 or 1/25 (VR on)? Does the camera strive to shoot slower when this is setup or is only when the upper limit of the ISO setting has been reached? Thanks

    • @JackBeasleyMedia
      @JackBeasleyMedia  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don’t know that I’d ever set that low a shutter speed for anything. What are you trying to photograph? If it’s sports, 1/500 is the rock bottom, no matter if you have VR on or not. If it’s still life, landscape, or architecture, yes, you can set it that low with VR because your subjects aren’t moving.

    Hi Jack. I have a Nikon D500, which is considered to be a rather good camera, and a Tamron 100-400 DI VC USD lense. I am struggling getting sharp images, even on a tripod/monopod. Usually where its worse is wildlife/bird photography and often birds in flight. I am in manual mode, s set my shutter speed to 1/2500+, auto ISO and have tried several aperatures from 6.3 and upwards. The problem is mostly on 400 mm and from about 30+ feet. If i get close to my subject, its usually ok sharp. Any ideas ?

      Right now, the world is moving to mirrorless. The current mirrorless equivalent to the D850 is the Z7ii. I also hear rumors of a Z8 which will be a "Z9-lite" and also have a similar high resolution sensor. Any of these models would serve you well for the scenarios you suggested. Having said all that, the D850 will likely be discontinued sooner rather than later - but you can probably get them used relatively cheap. If you're going to move up to full-frame, I suggest you go mirrorless - just because everything is going that way.

    • @JackBeasleyMedia
      @JackBeasleyMedia  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Both your camera and the lens are not well suited for nighttime sports photography. The camera doesn’t handle high ISOs well and the lens is too “slow” - meaning it’s maximum aperture doesn’t get down to at least f2.8. As a result, you’re going to get a lot of sensor noise or grain. In your case, I’d try to get the aperture as wide as possible all the time, shoot at about 1/500 sec, and shoot at the highest ISO your camera can handle. You also will probably want to learn how to use a noise reduction software like Topaz Denoise.

      It depends on the venue. Outdoors, the lighting almost always varies widely from one spot on the field to the next. Indoors, if your light is pretty constant throughout a court, I'll figure out what the correct ISO should be and leave it there. On the other hand, I've seen basketball courts where it was nice and bright in the center, and a couple stops darker right under the basket.

      Two choices, really three. Open up your aperture, increase your ISO, or a combination of both.

    is it important to have eyes in focus in sports photography?

    • @JackBeasleyMedia
      @JackBeasleyMedia  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      YES! Failing that, the numbers on their jerseys. But it's always preferable that faces are in focus.

      It depends. No AF system today is perfect and they tend to get confused when they are multiple faces very close to one another. If you can isolate a particular player, yes, it works great - especially in the high end mirrorless cameras.

    This video was good except for the comments about stopping down a lens for sharper photos. That was true with many older or third party lenses, but not so with the more modern and higher end lenses. I wish you would clarify the point in an upcoming video.

    Good info for most level photographers, but the title is click-baity. You talk about what goes into a sharp sports photos, but don’t actually teach us how to get sharp photos every time. I actually thought there was one thing I wasn’t doing that will get sharp sports photos every time. Okay, I don’t really, but I still clicked hoping to find out what the “secret” is. My favorite part was about setting the fo us point differently for different sports, especially baseball, but with modern cameras (I have Canon R6), I think most would just use face tracking with or without eye tracking. Do you have that mode available on your Nikon and do you find your method more accurate? Thanks for the video!

    • @JackBeasleyMedia
      @JackBeasleyMedia  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      At the time I made that video, I didn’t have a camera capable of good face tracking. But remember - a lot of people who watch that video have consumer grade cameras that also don’t have good face tracking. I have to include them.

    I enjoy your videos, however, as someone who uses closed captioning anytime I'm watching other than live TV, it's really annoying that most of your videos are CC in German or Arabic rather than English. Is there anything you can do about this on your end? For instance this video is closed captioned in German...

    • @JackBeasleyMedia
      @JackBeasleyMedia  ปีที่แล้ว

      For awhile I was adding foreign languages to my videos, but stopped some time ago. This is one those I probably did that. I’ll see what I can do make sure there are English captions. To be honest, I thought it already had them.

    High dollar "pro lenses" are made to be sharp wide open (200 f/2, 300 f/2.8, 400 f/2.8, 600 f/4), I shoot all these lenses wide open they are designed to be used that way.

    • @JackBeasleyMedia
      @JackBeasleyMedia  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree and I shoot all my lenses wide open at nearly every game or event I shoot. The point is, no lens is at its sharpest wide open. Every lens has its "sweet spot" - and I'd love to see a lens that's at its best at f2.8.

    When I shoot with my Z9 with 100m f2.8 on a focus point which is 20m away from me. I have a dof of around 6,6m which is not just "some inches".
