3️⃣ things I wish I knew before shooting my first game 📸

1️⃣ Your shutter speed matters more than anything, I was coming home with blurry shots for weeks before I figured this out. 1/1000s minimum, always.

2️⃣ Position is everything. The best lens in the world won’t save a bad angle. Get low, get high, get close, and think about your background before the action starts.

3️⃣ You will miss shots, and that’s okay. Sports photography is a volume game. Shoot more, stress less.

Save this for your first game 🙌
