hi im a beginning photographer and i like KOOlMAC a nba photographer. if you look at his stuff he has the court really bright, so i wanted to replicate that. what do i need to do on my camera to get this and editing while still maintaining motion. I have a canon rebel xsi
To make the court bright you can adjust the yellows by bringing the luminance of them up in Lightroom and desaturating them a bit. He also adds a bit of contrast, crushes the blacks a bit, and adjusts the overall saturation. He also seems to shoot a bit to the right so you will want to overexpose a smidge.
Anyone who tells you that you can’t take photos with an XSI is wrong. You most certainly can. It will be exceedingly more difficult, but not impossible. Just remember your exposure triangle. Keep your shutter speed above 1/1000, aperture as low as it can go, and the ISO as high as need be. Yes if you are shooting indoors the photos will be noisy, but that’s ok. You can take some of that out in post, and what’s left will never be seen by anyone but you.
(im a very beginner, so bare with me) when i increase the shutter to that high, my photo gets really dark (im using the tv option) should i switch to manual so that i can adjust other settings to counteract that darkness? thanks.
I personally would shoot in manual or Tv if you’re looking for blur. But seeing you probably don’t know what that is yet. I recommend you watch a few videos on YouTube on shutter speed and aperture basics. It’s more than we can explain via text.
