ed_farmer Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I haven't shot any track and field since wielding my Argus C3 on the high school field during the late 1970's . . . Question for those who have shot more recently: When shooting the high jump, do you get your best shots from the jumper's approach side? Or the opposite side?

brett_w. Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I would start from where the light is most favorable, you'll probably get more shots from the approach side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Naka Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I would walk around and look CAREFULLY at the site. Shots depend on what you are looking to shoot. approach or landing sideleft or righthow close or farangles Don't just go where the other photogs are going (herd mentality). Look around and find the spot that will give you a different viewpoint. Go to the library and look at past issues of Sports Illustrated and figure out where they are shooting from.
