Photo Lesson #4 - Sports
I think it is safe to say that surfing is a sport. There are surfing championships, after all. But what about skimboarding? There are no teams, no spectators and no competitions. So, perhaps it is just a pastime rather than a sport. Who knows!
But I do know a good subject when I see one. Since I am not a frequent sports shooter I relied on good timing rather than a fast motor - my Canon 5D only shoots three frames per second. A frequent sports shooter, or wildlife shooter, would be wise to have a camera with a faster motor, but as you can see you can still get a good shot without one.
I shot this from the Manhattan Beach Pier with a long lens.
Equipment: Canon 5D camera, Canon 100-400 f4.5-5.6 IS USM lens
