Photographing Disc Golf

This post is a note to selves… Next year when taking photographs of our annual Turkey Day Disc Golf (TDDG) we should remember the following:

  • use a tripod
  • use the flash for single shots only
  • primarily use burst mode
  • shoot in raw, unless you want to take longer burst (my 20D can do about 6 raws before pausing, but I know with jpegs it can do more)
  • keep the sun behind the photographer
  • get shots from in front and behind the thrower
  • keep shooting until the disc stops
  • start shooting as the thrower winds up
  • keep spectators from clustering behind the thrower, unless they are posing for the picture

Any more that I missed?  The I bolded the critical ones.
