Making an Impact with Action Photography

Published by:  FreePhotoHelp
Tutorial Preview:

"So you bought a digital camera but you still take your old film camera to your kid's soccer games because you can click the shutter quickly without waiting on the camera to catch up. The pause your camera takes between pressing the shutter release and taking the photo can be frustrating. However, digital cameras can take great action photos if you know why the pause occurs and how to work with it.

The lag occurs with digital photography because the digital camera needs to focus, meter the light and perform several other tasks before the actual photo can be taken. To avoid the lag, press the shutter release button halfway down to lock the focus on your subject. Keep your finger on the partially depressed button while you wait for the right moment in the action, then continue pressing to take the photo."
