Volleyball

02. FALL SPORTS VOLLEYBALL

“BUMP, SET, HIT” RITUAL. Pay attention to the diggers, setters, and hitters–this can help you track the ball and get better photos when the action happens. Volleyball can be one of the most difficult sports to photograph. Sit close to the court. Near the ref’s stand or bench can be a safe space to sit. Getting low will allow you to shoot under the net as well. Also, this will help to get the ball in the shot by removing the floor and focusing on more headspace. Note: It’s easy to focus on the wrong thing, like the net or wrong player. Your focus is key with this sport.

PRO TIP

DON’T STOP shooting when the ball stops moving. Teams celebrate big in this sport and it’s a great opportunity to get great shots.

SAFETY SHOTS

Players serving or setting because they are typically easier to capture.
