Low light sports photography tips

Here are some low light sports photography tips that you might find useful. When using your digital camera to shoot photos in low light conditions, you have to consider shutter speed. Initially, you might be tempted to set the shutter speed to the highest speed the camera can accomplish. Most cameras that are of a high quality type can do and ISO speed of 1600. The problem with setting the speed to high is that you get a lot of noise at the higher speeds.

One of the reasons people pay a lot of money for a digital camera is because activities like lowlight sports photography require that a camera has very low noise at high ISO settings. Companies like Canon and Nikon make great cameras that can handle high ISO settings with low noise. Even if you shoot at a high speed shutter setting, there are software programs out there that can remove the noise during post processing if you start with an image that is in raw format.
