Photographer’s Guide To Shooting Rock Climbers
Photo: Photo: This particular tip is relevant to all types of photography, but when shooting a sport like rock climbing, people think that the thrill of the climber's movement will make up for poor lighting. It might, but a great photo in poor light ends up being only “good” while a good photo in great light can be amazing. Shoot when the sun is lower in the sky; the light rays will be scattered by the earth's atmosphere providing a beautiful glow and soft shadows to the image. Ben Horton
TO PHOTOGRAPH CLIMBING EFFECTIVELY, you must first be a climber. Not only to be able to capture the right moment, but also what you are feeling when you are out climbing is exactly what you should be trying to capture with your camera. I have always said that a camera is your way of showing the world how you see things. Your view is unique, and if you can successfully show someone your perspective, then it will be new and interesting for them.
