How the *** do professionals get solid photos with all the faces, people running around, athletes getting in your shot while you are focused on a subject, limited space etc?
Lots of practice, some luck
I took around 1300 photos. Only like 300 of them are usable.
That’s not a bad ratio
And when I did… the faces… Oh my god.
Why do you keep saying “the faces”? I’m missing the relevance.
Shoot your shot, good luck.
It’s not that people here don’t want to help. It’s just that so many people ask and are trying to do this that there’s no more advice to give.
Yes
You need software, or pay a company to do it for you
A “monocular” that can take a picture is called a camera.
Pre-empt the request and send a “we usually have a photo shoot before the holidays but this year is crazy and I’m not going to be able to this year” before they make the request.
You’re going to have to reinforce the ‘no’ a few times but it’ll be worth it in the end.
I’ll try to make this as brief as possible.

Ditch the 70-300. No clue why you’d bring that and 200-500
And I’d leave the 24-70 home, too, but that just me
Great camera, expensive lens, years of practice, fantastic technique … and then take 1000 pictures and only show people the 3-4 sharpest ones they took
You lost his, buy him a new one.
Q: what can a pizza do that a full time photographer cannot?
A: feed a family of four
all I hear is “but mom, they’re doing stuff I don’t want them to do!!”
This is pretty cool! Congrats.
I shoot a lot of college sports. 1500-2000 shots for volleyball. 1000 for basketball. 500-1000 for soccer.
In any of those there are 75-200 that are good enough to edit and give to the team. Of those, 2, maybe 3 make me say “wow.”
