Choosing the right settings for shooting sports gymnastics is a very demanding task, which can take us a lot of time. When shooting sports gymnastics, the settings on the camera must constantly change, due to changes in the rhythm of movement and the use of various training tools. Light in the room which is very difficult to control has a very big influence on the settings. This can cause countless problems due to changes in the viewing angles in the photography and the specific features that we want to express in a photo. This thesis will describe the appropriate settings for photographing gymnastic elements in the exterior, studio and gym.
The theoretical part includes the characteristic of gymnastics, such as motion and expression. The art analysis will also be described below every individual photograph where I tried to capture the moment of movement with the background pattern. That is why capturing the right moment is very difficult like in every sport. It is very hard to catch the image of a person still in the air or performing a certain element. Therefore, it is a good thing that every photographer is already acquainted with a particular sport or athlete in order to make it easier for him to predict when the athlete will do something interesting. An experienced photographer will be able to express various emotions in his own photos; however, it will never be an easy task. It is very important to know that everything not only depends on the exact anticipation of the events themselves, but also on our photographic equipment, the lighting itself, and many other conditions in which photos are taken.
In the practical part we will write down all the conditions and settings of all the photos that were taken in the studio, the gym and the exterior. The data will be inserted in the result table, along with a brief summary of the results.
We have come to the conclusion that is very difficult to make good photos. Therefore, we need to have a more powerful camera and good software for further processing of individual photos in order to get the best result.
