The three things that have gotten me my best shots are:
1) Burning LOTS of film, developing it promptly and analyzing for
mistakes
2) getting to know the game and the players well enough to better
predict where the good shots will happen.
3) the patience to set up a good shot and wait for it to happen. I
can't tell you how long I've spent sitting on the third base line,
prefocussed on a spot halfway to third, leaning on my 300 and
monopod, waiting for a runner to come in. But when they do, I'll get
an entire series of keepers.
I'm still struggling with basketball. It seems much more difficult
toshoot than baseball, and I'm stillnot happy with my exposures.
I'mabout to try a few games sans flash, shooting at 1600 or so to see
if I'm happier with that.
