Low Light Sports Photography

Low light sports photography can be really difficult because of the conflicting requirements of rapid speed and low light availability. When sports events occur at night, you don't have the same daylight that you have when the event is earlier during the day. As such, professional photographers and their digital cameras must deal with lighting that is not adequate and also of a strange quality.

Low light sports photography is complicated by the fact that artificial lighting makes for strange coloring of the final images. You can use tools on your computer to fix the final digital photos, but the quality of lighting during the initial shot has a huge impact on the overall quality of the final product. You can't get away from the fact that the better the light to better the photo. Learning how to deal with low light conditions is part of the job if you want to be a sports photographer.
