Sports Photography

Hello everybody!

I go to a photography club every month, for each month we have a subject to bring photos of to share and critique with the group. This months subject was "Sports". I have decided to share my sports photos with you all, and telling you my tips for taking sports orientated photos!


First is a photo of my partner's dumbbells. I took this while just playing around with my new camera and thinking about what to take as my sports photos. I'm really happy with the texture that is shown and the symmetry. I have put a very dark blue tint over this, to give a black and white photo without being too harsh. I did a recolour due to my dogs bed in the background which is very colourful and drew away from the main focus of the photo.

This is a photo of a smallbour rifle shooting target. I'm in love with this picture, although I wish it was slightly more centred. I do like the contrast of the bull being in focus compared to the numbers but I am interested to know what it would've looked like with the numbers in focus also. I haven't edited this photo in anyway.

This is a picture of the club's rifles all lined up. There's a few things wrong in my opinion with this photo in terms of placement but there's always next time for that! I have put a sepia tone over this which I feel gives it a wartime look which I feel suits the photo.

This is a photo of the side of the bullet block. I personally love this photo as you can see the small bits of the marker on the wood bleeding out, plus the detail of each individual bullet. I haven't edited this photo aside from cropping.

This is undoubtedly my favourite photo from this lot. It was an absolute fluke, I was just seeing what angle I could get of the shooting range just as my camera went flat and to my joy it turned out perfectly. I am so happy with the lighting and the symmetry of the targets. I haven't edited this photo at all.

And those were the photos for this months photography club! I hope you have enjoyed this look into my photography, if you have liked this please let me know and I will put up each months photos to give you ideas for your own photos!
