WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Media Day Photos: Camera & Light Settings!
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Mastering your camera and lighting settings is crucial because it allows you to freeze complex motion, control depth of field, and sculpt lighting that highlights an athlete's power and physique. This technical control elevates flat, ordinary images into the dynamic, magazine-style portraits desired in sports media.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: We will follow the process and practice taking team MEDIA DAY photos!
Steps to camera & light settings
Step 1 - Camera Settings & background
Turn off triggers and lights
Set camera settings: ISO 100, F8, 1/200
Take a test shot & Check background exposure
Background Too Dark?
Decrease F stop
Higher ISO
Slower Shutter Speed
Background Too bright
Increase F stop
Lower ISO
Faster Shutter Speed (might need HSS)
Background Just Right?
Leave it all!
Step 2 - Light settings & Subject
Turn ON triggers and lights and don’t touch camera settings
Take a test shot

Umbrellas vs SoftBoxes
What's the Difference?
A lot of people start with umbrellas. They produce beautiful soft wraparound light just like a softbox would but instead of being more controlled the light bounce around the umbrella to diffuse first and then sort of scatters in all directions.
The softbox produces soft light as well but contains the light inside and only releases it through the diffusion panel in the front. Meaning that the angle of light is more narrow than that of an umbrella when placed to the side of your subject you can see how the background is much darker and deeper. That's because the edge of the box keeps the light moving in a forward Direction.
Whereas when the umbrella is at the same angle it can illuminate your subject and more of your background because of the wide open nature of its shape it all comes down to controlling your light.
The more you know the more you can do.
