Sports photography: record the action

There are many different kinds of sports. That's why sports photography can't be explained in one sentence. In sports photography, it's all about capturing the right moment.

The enthusiastic sports photographer has to be able to control the shutter speed and aperture, and of course the telelens and a quality tripod shouldn't be missing from the selection.

You could choose to freeze-frame an instance of a movement, or clearly depict the whole movement.
