Action Shots

Warm Up
1. This is part of a winning sports photography portfolio because it shows a key moment in the game. This photo was taken after the team won the game.
2.The shutter speed of this photo is medium, because the players and the water are a bit blurry.
3. This is a key moment, yet it was expected.
4. This event was most likely planned by the players if they won.
5.There were no advanced techniques shown except it was a key moment, and there was a good shutter speed because you could see the water droplets.
