The Tamron Theater

"All of us tend to think of Tamron as a great manufacturer of optics. Let's face it, they make GREAT glass, but there's another aspect to Tamron's incredible presence in the industry. They believe in education and support for photographers who are working professionals, aspiring pros and serious hobbyists. They're all about helping you with the quality of every image you capture, from their workshops and Tailgate Tour to tech support online, Customer Service and all of their educational material.

In the Tamron Theater we're sharing videos, podcasts, guest posts and images from some of the very best artists in the world.

Photographers: When You Need a Little Help

I was out for a scroll this morning on the Tamron USA site and stumbled upon their help section. I've been on the site hundreds of times and just missed "Photo Tips and More." What I found was a wealth of great information featuring some of the most talented artists in photography.  Just click on the banner above to visit the entire section.

In the mean time, I loved this piece by Jenn Gidman with images and tips by Grady James. It's summer time and whether you're a pro needing a quick review or a serious hobbyist building your skill set, the article is loaded with great tips for action sports photography.

Grady shares fifteen solid tips to help you raise the bar on the quality of your action sports images. Here's a great example describing the image above:

I captured Sara one more time zipping across one of the trails, and this one was a panning image. My go-to shutter speed for this kind of photo is 1/30th of a second; I'll adjust it from there, depending on what I see after a trial run. With pan shots, I simply try to prefocus on the trail, then follow my subject as smoothly as I can as he or she travels up and down the path. The 70-200 is the ideal lens to use for this kind of photo. I actually had a couple of those images in the same spot featuring a biker with a yellow jersey, but Sara's photo came out best because she had a better shirt to contrast with the background here.

Click on Grady's image to read the entire article, and if you'd like to see more of his work, his website is just a click away.

Tamron isn't just a manufacturer of some of the best optics in imaging, but they're helping artists capture better photographs and video. They never slow down on their focus on education. Great support and help with so many of your questions are always available in "Photo Tips and More."
