Sandy Vongries Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Never been a golfer, or terribly interested in it. Waiting for a shuttle by a golf course - decided to see just for fun, if I could catch the ball in the air off the tee - worked two out of three times. Suspect the one I missed was the best golfer of the three - Fast swing. Nikon DF 24-120. Have you tried anything similar? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Naka Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Those are tough shots, and 6fps is way toooooo slow to reliably capture those shots. Funny thing is, going back to old fashioned manual timed shot gets me more keepers than relying on the camera's burst/continuous mode. And with digital, I can immediately see how I need to correct my timing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 No matter the fps speed, the shot you want is usually in between two of them. A lot of the golf photos I've taken are of the practice swing with the ball cloned later. Strictly forbidden in some circles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 Funny thing is, going back to old fashioned manual timed shot gets me more keepers Exactly the way I got mine - 2 of 3 tries. The third guy, as mentioned was very fast. No matter the fps speed, the shot you want is usually in between two of them 'Zactly - why I almost never use bursts! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Ingold Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 The shutter lag is probably on the order of 20 msec, which is fast enough until you add the extras. Your reaction time is on the order of 250 to 750 msec, and add to that delays due to AF and AE. With experience you get pretty good judging how much in advance to press the shutter, but even that involves a lot of luck. Try shooting in manual mode, which should improve your odds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajkocu Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I don't know if the batter hit the ball, but judging by where the bat is, I'd say he didn't. Canon EF 70-200 F/4 @ 140mm, F/4 and 1/1250th. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemorrell Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I've taken sport photos now and again, mostly of running events. I've been a 'house photographer' for an annual cross-country running event for the past 5 years. I also have (IMHO) some spectacular shots of local equine events. This one photo of 'Lotte' (aged 10 when I took the photo) is still my favorite. Because of the way she expressed her sheer determination. She was and still is one of the most promising young Dutch athletes. I meet up with her parents once a year at a local cross-country running event. Lotte's on her way to the very top. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Michael Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Capture the Moment - One of my personal favourites, dates back to 2010 and a young and very gutsy Goal Keeper - Though only the last was published, for my collection I like leaving the four previous shots in.

William Michael Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Well - her reaction to the camera at her world record, is also favourite of mine - 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
