Capturing the action at a sporting event can be challenging. Set yourself up for victory by choosing the right lens for shooting live sports.<\/h2>\n

Every video project<\/strong> comes with its own unique set of technical challenges, and shooting live sports<\/strong> is certainly no exception. There\u2019s arguably no more difficult type of event to shoot than a live sports game. The speed and intensity of the action can be difficult to follow and capture, and shooting from the sidelines severely limits your creative options. Without the right tools, you definitely won\u2019t be able to capture the images you\u2019re hoping for.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those of you looking for some new glass to tackle this challenge, make sure you take the following considerations into account before buying your next lens.<\/p>\n

Telephoto and Wide-Angle Lenses<\/h3>\n

\"Choosing<\/p>\n

It goes without saying that a long telephoto lens<\/strong> (such as a 300mm) will help you capture those nice close-up shots, even when shooting from the sidelines or among the crowd. But having a wide-angle lens<\/strong> in your kit (such as a 16mm) can be just as useful for different reasons.<\/p>\n

When shooting live sports, there\u2019s never really a middle ground from a lensing perspective<\/strong>. You\u2019re typically either going to be buried on the sidelines far away from the action, or right up close to it \u2014 for instance, in the locker room after the game. Both circumstances call for different lensing options at complete opposite ends of the spectrum. While your telephoto<\/strong> might be the obvious choice for covering the game itself, your wide-angle lens<\/strong> will be a lifesaver when shooting interviews or b-roll before or after the main event.<\/p>\n

Chances are you probably already have some normal focal length lenses in your kit. If you\u2019re serious about shooting sports, then be sure to add both a wide-angle<\/strong> and telephoto<\/strong> to your arsenal.<\/p>\n

Zooms<\/h3>\n

\"Choosing<\/p>\n

In most scenarios, you\u2019re going to need a zoom lens<\/strong> to cover the action in your frame most efficiently. With that said, you\u2019ll want to avoid buying a zoom lens<\/strong> that only covers a standard range, such as a 24-105. Instead opt for a longer zoom\u00a0<\/b>like\u00a0a 70-200 or a wider zoom such as an 11-16. Doing so will ensure that you have enough range to capture the dynamic changes<\/strong> in what you\u2019re shooting.<\/p>\n

You should also look for lenses that are parfocal<\/a> \u2014 meaning they\u2019ll hold the focus when zooming in or out. Not all lenses are parfocal, which can be problematic when trying to zoom to focus on your subject and then zoom back out to a wider shot \u2014 only to realize your image is no longer in focus. Working quickly is essential to shooting sports, and having a zoom lens (especially one that is parfocal) will help you move much more swiftly.<\/p>\n

Image Stabilization<\/h3>\n

\"Choosing<\/p>\n

Achieving a stable shot when shooting in a live sports environment<\/strong> is easier said than done. You\u2019ll often find yourself shooting in very crowded spaces, surrounded by people stomping, cheering, and potentially even knocking your gear from time to time. To add insult to injury, you\u2019re likely shooting on a long lens, meaning that any shakes your camera picks up from the surrounding movement or other environmental factors will wreak havoc on your image quality.<\/p>\n

For this reason, it\u2019s absolutely crucial to use lenses with image stabilization. <\/strong>They\u2019ll help mitigate any camera shake you may encounter in such a chaotic environment. Even if you have a very stable place to shoot from, you\u2019ll still be glad to have image stabilization on your lens to help smooth out any pans and tilts<\/strong> that you make on your telephoto lenses.<\/p>\n

Fast Aperture<\/h3>\n

\"Choosing<\/p>\n

Most sports stadiums are quite well lit, and assuming you\u2019re shooting at 24p or 60i, your shutter speed is only going to ever need to be at a maximum of 1\/60. This means that (under normal conditions) you won\u2019t have a difficult time exposing your image properly, even when working with a relatively slow lens.<\/p>\n

With that said, depending on the type of content you\u2019re shooting, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll want to crank up your shutter speed significantly<\/strong> in order to capture slow motion shots. If you\u2019re shooting on a camera like the Sony FS7<\/a> that can record at 240fps, your shutter speed is going to be set to 1\/500, which means your exposure will drop quite a bit.<\/p>\n

Having a fast lens can be essential in a scenario like this, as it\u2019ll allow you to open up to a wide aperture and achieve a nice bright exposure, even when shooting at a high shutter speed. It\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019ll find a telephoto zoom lens with an F1.4 aperture, but even a lens that can open up to F2.8 will help you achieve nice results \u2014 especially when compared to many zoom lenses which often range from F4 – F5.6.<\/p>\n
