When taking photograph of a sporting event make sure to love the sport unless the whole process will be boring and not exciting for you. and the best way to catch a wonderful sporting moment is to understudy the sport previously so that you can tell/anticipate when something exciting might happen in the sport.

Aperture for Sports Photos You need to use an aperture wide enough to give you the shutter speed you want. This often means shooting with your lens’s maximum aperture: f/4 and f/5.6, two common telephoto lens maximum apertures, both work great for sports photos.

What is true of softboxes? They pass light through a diffusing material in the front. The light that comes from strobe lights can create strong shadows and without other accessories, it is often too strong. The more spread out a light is, the softer the light will become.

As a rule of thumb, the size of a softbox should be approximately the same size as your subject; meaning a head shot or half shot could require softboxes in the range of about 18 to 24″, whereas full-body shots could require multiple softboxes in the 48″ or larger range.

A softbox diffuses the light into a pleasing soft, even light. When used properly, it reduces harsh shadows. The closer the softbox is to the model or subject, the softer the light appears, emulating window light. The shape of a softbox can vary from rectangular to octagonal to square to a long strip of light.

Off-camera flash is the easiest way to create dynamic lighting – and using a speedlight with a softbox, is on-location lighting at its most elegantly simple.

The benefits of an external on-camera flash far outweigh those provided by a built-in camera flash, while the only drawback is having to carry an additional piece of equipment. The term on-camera flash, or speedlight, simply refers to a type of strobe light (flash) that can connect directly to your camera.

They simply place the flash to the side (and often at a too-extreme 90 degree angle from their own position), with the flash too low in height. Your subject’s pose and their position most often dictates how you should place the flash.

The easiest way to use your speedlight is to aim it directly at your subject. The result is a decently lit subject, similar to the type of photo that a built-in pop up flash would produce. Notice how that colors pop more and the mask is more evenly lit compared to the photo shot in ambient light.

Your Speedlight can be a lifesaver if there’s very little or no available ambient light. You can use your flash to lift the shadows and reveal details on your subject if they are backlit. It’s especially useful if your main point of interest has their back against a sunset sky.

All you need to fire a flash off camera is (1) a speedlight flash, (2) a trigger/receiver to wirelessly fire the flash, and (3) your camera. If you’re note sure what a speedlight flash is, you should read this handy FAQ on flash photography, where I explain some common terms in flash photography.

What is a “Flash Trigger” and why would I want one? A flash trigger is a device that allows you to trigger an external strobe using its own source of light rather than utilizing a camera flash or an electrical signal.

Insert the receiver’s trigger output plug into your flash’s jack. Press the test button on your transmitter. The studio light should now flash. Insert the transmitter’s hot shoe socket into your camera’s hot shoe jack (if your camera does not have a hot shoe use a PC sync cord and insert it into the socket).

TTL means Through The Lens metering. When you focus your camera with that half push of the shutter, your camera is not only focusing, but its taking a reading (metering) of the scene. TTL flash uses a series or infrared flash bursts before the flash actually fires.

Yes, as Godox is made in the same factory as PIXAPRO this means that they will be cross-compatible. PIXAPRO will work as part of the Godox X system as long as they share the same 2.4GHz receiver or trigger, this means that you can add a PIXAPRO flash or trigger. to your existing Godox setup.

TTL stands for ‘Through The Lens’ and it’s a term used to describe exposure metering based on what your camera sees. …

Build Quality, First Impression. When it comes to build quality, these flashes are built significantly better than what I remember from three to four years ago. The Godox XProC Remote still feels a bit light and cheap in its design, but the flashes themselves are significantly more solid.
