Sports are around us all year long in most areas. We may follow different teams or have varying interests, but some basic photo points can be applied to each sport. I've found that "being ready" is the primary tool for sports photography.
The first step in "being ready" requires that you've studied the sport enough to know how to create the best images. For example, how close can you get to the action? The answer to that question will tell you what size lens you require. If you're right down in front at a basketball game, a wide-angle lens may be best. However, at a football game where you could be fifty yards from the action, you may need a good telephoto lens. In some sports such as boat and car races, the action takes place in one spot more often than in others. You need to set up so that you can adequately cover the most likely locations of action, so you can safely capture the most exciting shots. In addition, you need to have a schedule of events. A program will help you with knowing who did what.
