Easy-to-follow advice on all kinds of motion photography, including sports, wildlife, theatre, water, and children in action. Successfully photographing any sport or activity depends on knowing how to pick the right moment to trigger the shutter, being in the right place at the right time, and having the correct equipment set up with appropriate exposure controls to deliver correctly-exposed images. You must also understand how to ensure the right parts of the subject are sharply focused. All these questions – and more – are answered in the Action Photography, which also provides advice on creative shooting techniques and post-capture manipulations that can be used to enhance a sense of motion or add movement to otherwise static subjects.
