idk i wasnt there!!! but i guess hes a pretty rad dude!
I found it interesting that he told us about how you should research the sport before you go and take pictures so that you can take better pictures. While researching can help you take pictures of that sport, you also have to anticipate the shot you want by putting yourself in the right place to get the shot. Also, I now know what a good sports picture should have: peak action and a story. The best sports photos have both of those.
I found it interesting that Jeremy Long taught himself the photojournalism tricks that he is so skilled in. I would like to implement the "Center of Gravity" trick into my own sports photography from now on.
I thought the entire presentation was very interesting. What I found most interesting was when he described how to get good sports pictures. The advice he gave to us regarding how to capture a great action photo was very helpful and something I will definitely put to use when attempting to take good action shots. When I go out and take more pictures, the biggest advice I will take with me is just the components of a great picture. Each picture should have a peak action and a telling action. The advice on how to capture a picture with both of these actions is what I will continue to strive for when I take my own pictures following that presentation.
I found it interesting that he did not go to school for photojournalism. He self-taught himself which is interesting because anyone who really wants to do it, can get into it. One of the most helpful things he told us was about peak action and telling action. He said that rather than just getting one or the other, the best photos contain both. Another tip he gave that I found helpful was that the best way to take the photos is to stay at the center of gravity and keep eye level with the action happening. He gave really great advice that I can use when taking sports photos this semester.
The presentation was very informative. I learned a lot about the equipment he uses and how the different lenses are used to do different things. I will be able to take the skills of being at eye level with the players or the subject to get a better picture and the studying of the subject you are taking pictures of to make sure you get the best shots
I thought it was neat to have him come in and explain how he takes sport pictures and some tips we can use for our yearbook. Also that he was self taught. He also has a lot of different lenses. He said to research the sport which I think is smart so that you do not just go into taking the pictures blind. I thought it was interesting to hear his opinion on the hardest sport to take pictures for which is volleyball. I think that I will use some of the tips he told us like to get right in peoples faces and capture the moments.
I thought it was interesting that we should hold the camera at the player's eye level. I hadn't thought of doing that and it would definitely provide more exiting photos when the player's faces can be seen better. In the future, I will use some of his recommendations to improve my own photos. For example, Jeremy said to shoot at a higher aperture in sports photos to try and stop the action. Also, he recommended to try to get the ball into the photos which is something I didn't really think about before.
I enjoyed Jeremy Long's presentation. I was interested in the different cameras that he used and how much of an impact the type of camera had on the image taken. One thing that I learned from his presentation that I will be able to implement in the future is the importance of shooting from the center of gravity and anticipating what will happen. If you anticipate what will happen in a given situation, then you will have a better chance of taking a good picture.
I found it very interesting that he was a self taught photographer, and he never had a photography a photography class in his life. I also found it helpful that he gave the tip that we should take two different cameras to an event with us. He said that he normally takes one wide angle lens for the more close up shots, and he also takes a longer lens for all of the action shots he is taking. What I will use from his presentation is his tip on the center of gravity, and the subject that you are taking a picture of should be at eye level. I think this is really good and useful advice.
I thought all the tips that he gave us were very interesting. He said to take photos that show lots of action but are also very telling. He also said to research the sport you are photographing to be able to anticipate what is going to happen next to get a good shot. Lastly, he said to not have distracting things in the background and always get the ball in the shot if you can.
One thing I found very interesting was that Jeremy Long was completely self-taught. I also thought it was interesting that you can get better pictures at a sporting event by making yourself at eye-level with the players. It makes you feel like you are on the field with them, which is a great idea. He also talked about how researching or knowing about the sport you are taking pictures of helps you to get better photos. This allows you to anticipate what will happen next, and position yourself to get the best angled picture that you can.
Yesterday in period 7 I met the coolest photojournalist freelancer I ever met. I enjoyed learning that someone even self taught like Jeremy could achieve greatness. He taught himself how to take pictures, and now he carries around expensive cameras. Good for him. Some important tips I learned were "have a clean background", always plan, and have the subjects coming towards you. I didn't know ANY of this before I met Jeremy. I really like Jeremy. He's inspiring! An important part of being prepared is researching the sports/teams. -Noah Parker
I found it interesting that Jeremy takes a lot of photos on the highest aperture. Since we just learned about it in class, I thought it was cool that he brought it up. I also found it interesting that he said the three things you need to do with photography are plan, think, and anticipate. He also said you should study the sports that you take pictures of, which is something I could do in the future. I am also going to try to keep the ball in the photo. I will try taking photos at different levels depending on the sport, like Jeremy recommended. Lastly, I will try to get clean backgrounds when I am taking pictures.
From Mr. Longs's presentation the information about getting a picture of the peak acton and telling action if you can. He described the importance of your photos telling a story and with these two types of pictures you can tell the best story. From what i've learned I can implement the planning and preparation to take a good photo including studying the sport to know when to take the best picture with a peak action or telling action.
I found it informative when he talked about a good sport's photo has both the peak action and telling action. Meaning your picture captures the height of the action and also shows a reaction/emotion. I also found it interesting when he told us to shoot for the center of gravity--positioning yourself so you are the same level that the opponent sees your action. Something else Jeremy advised us was to kind of get a background and understanding for the sport you are going to get pictures of so you are able to anticipate the best action shots. In the future, I will be able to implement some of the tips that Jeremy talked about and make sure I can get really good action-reaction photos.
One of the most interesting things from the presentation was the fact that Jeremy Long taught himself what he knows about photography. He said that he did not take classes during high school or have any prior experience, but it is really incredible to see what he has been able to produce in spite of that.
In the future, I definitely plan to think about anticipating shots. It seems obvious that a better knowledge of a sport can help you to photograph it, but the amount of thinking and processing it takes to really implement this knowledge into photographs is not so easily obtained. I will also try to combine the peak action and telling action in my photos, because the combination of these can really amplify the quality of the photo.
In Jeremy Longs presentation, I found it interesting listening to his take on how to produce good pictures at sporting events. He talked about how its more than just showing up at a game and taking pictures, there is planning and a little bit of research about the sport that needs to be done first. This is important so that you can anticipate the play before it happens so you can capture a good photo. He also told us to try and have clear backgrounds in sports pictures and where to position yourself when taking pictures which i thought was really informative. These skills Jeremy Long talked about will help me implement my photography skills so that when im in yearbook class or other classes i can make sure to get the best photos i can that really tell a story.
There were a lot of great tips and information that Jeremy had shared with the class yesterday. Something that I found informative was Peak and Telling Action. How peak is the height of the action and Telling is more of showing emotion. Another tip that I found interesting was having a clean background if possible. I think that I will really be able to implement a bunch of different little tips that he had shared yesterday. Some of those tips were to get on the players level, clean background, try to get the ball in the shot if sports, try to do center of gravity, and even study the subject you're going to be photographing. I really liked Jeremy and all the information that he had shared with the class.
I found it interesting how he only got into photography a couple years ago, and didn't go to college for it, but taught himself the basics. He told us that we should put ourselves into the action and always think ahead, whether that's researching an event or teams. Photos should capture emotion and action so they can tell a story. In the future I will start placing myself in the action and move to different levels (standing, sitting, etc) so the overall photo is better.
I thought it was interesting that he only started photography a couple of years ago. I will definitely use his tips to position yourself and anticipate situations when I'm taking photos of sports. Also, I thought it was helpful to know that your aperture should always be at the largest setting.
