We are going to tell you the tricks to take the best photos when you do sport.
1. Take everything you need
The more you have your camera at hand, the less laziness you will feel and the faster you will take the picture. You decide if your cell phone is enough or if you prefer to take your camera with you. But remember that you are going to do sport and the important thing is to be comfortable. For this we recommend that you take with you a small backpack, the usual bracelet where you carry your phone and you can listen to music or a fanny pack. But above all, carry the battery of your device charged.
2. Find a shot that flatters you
Forget the photos at ground level with the phone resting on the ground. Look for a different and flattering angle. The low angle shots make you taller but be careful because they do not maintain the proportion of the objects. If someone else goes with you on the adventure, take advantage of it and let them take a picture of you. It will always be better to have someone else's judgment than to take it 'blind' with the timer. If that person is someone inexperienced you can also give him or her some indication or prepare the shot. Be careful with selfies, they are not always the best option, especially when your face appears in the foreground and the other in front of you. Look for your good profile and take care of the pose.
A trick: copy what you like. If you have seen something, a pose or a charming place in someone else's profile and you liked it, don't hesitate to copy it, as long as it is not too blatant. You will find the way to give it your personal touch with the following guidelines that we are going to give you.
3. Look for the differentiating touch
It is boring to find a profile like the majority, so we advise you to always give your publications a personal touch. For example, as a complement for your cell phone, nowadays there are also mini-lenses on sale that are very easy to use and inexpensive, such as the fisheye lens. This way you will give a different touch to your profile and you will only carry a small amount of material and very small size.
4. The accessory, the best ally
If you prefer to run alone or have not yet found the ideal partner, we recommend that you take with you an accessory to help you take the photo. From the already famous selfie stick to a small "octopus" tripod that adapts to any surface.
For this we advise you to take into account the place and also how bulky these elements can be when practicing sports. Use a small size.
The tripod can be placed on any terrain, even on the branch of a tree and get a more natural effect as if a paparazzi had taken the picture.
5. Find a good backdrop
One of the most important points in the photos is to get a good background or scenery. This is another point that will make the difference in front of other posturetis sportsmen. You don't need to look for a secluded or remote place from which you might not be able to return. Simply take advantage of the possibilities that the place offers, such as rivers, waterfalls, trees or iconic buildings.
6. Don't miss the light
When the environment is not as beautiful as we would like, you can play with the other factor to take into account; the light. Therefore, the best times to take pictures are at dawn or dusk, but especially when the sunlight is not so strong. On these occasions you have to keep in mind that it is necessary to get up early or if you go to the mountains to take into account that the time to return before running out of light. For the laziest there is always the option of a good filter.
7. Take care of the details
If you are going to make an effort to take a nice picture, with an idyllic background and good light, don't spoil it with the outfit. Try to take care of your image so that it fits as well as possible in the photo. It is becoming more and more common to see athletes with perfectly thought out outfits and less with advertising t-shirts. The trick is to know how to combine. You don't need to have a closet full of sportswear but a good basic closet. Take advantage and take several photos along the way and play with the layers to make them look like different days and have more content for your profile.
8. Find allies
We all know that when you're going to do sports, you're not going to look like a brush, so take advantage of it and show off your new sunglasses or your favorite cap. If you have long hair, instead of a classic ponytail you can wear boxer braids or a hairstyle that is the latest trend .
9. Don't give it all away for the photo
For your safety and that of the people around you take into account the environment in which you are. Sport is a healthy activity with great benefits, we don't want your whole day to be ruined for a photo. We advise you to slow down when taking your photo and be aware of your surroundings, not just the camera.
Also, the more relaxed and comfortable you are, the better you will come out and the more in control of your body you will be. In this way also, in terms of the technical part of the camera, your photos will come out sharper and it will be easy for them to come out in focus.
10. Set up the camera correctly
To take a good photo you must take into account that the device with which you are going to take it is adapted for it. We do not advise you to use the flash or the zoom of the mobile camera, with the first one you will lose the natural light and with the second one you will lose quality and sharpness in the photograph.
If you have a camera, in the settings select a slower shutter speed, from 1/500s to get sharp pictures. The opposite is true if you are looking for a moving effect. The easiest thing to do is to set the 'sport' mode that usually comes with it.
On any device, we recommend using the burst mode so that you don't miss a detail and can choose the perfect fraction.
11. Enjoy the moment
Remember that capturing the moment is secondary. Don't go crazy trying to take the perfect picture, enjoy the experience and the scenery. As the song says "life in 4k when you look up". If you haven't been able to take the perfect picture another day.
