Default Sports Shooting Tutorials and Advice

This section of the forum is about sharing sports photographs, but there have also been some excellent tutorials and discussions written by some of our highly skilled members and I hope there will be more to come. Rather than make them all sticky (as it will clog the place up) I will link to them from here and make this thread sticky.

I will keep this thread locked to prevent it from becoming untidy. If there is a thread that you think should be included in this list send me a PM.

On exposure: JeffreyG, post #18 here
So I'll walk in, set the shutter speed I want (say 1/320) for wrestling, f/2, ISO1600 and take a shot. I like to shoot a kid in a white outfit like the example I posted so I can see if his uniform blows out.
