charlesa:
Hi to all

Will start shooting swimming events, mainly trials and waterpolo, any tips on where best to stand pool side? Have 70-200 and 400 mm f/2.8, should cover the range required nicely.

rwmson:
I think the best shots would come from the swimmer's side or with the swimmer approaching the camera at an angle.

candyman:
Is it indoor or outdoor?
If indoor, then it also depends from where light is coming from (windows, artificial)


But yes, a few angles are interesting. Are you allowed to move?

charlesa:
Outdoor, and I am allowed to move.

candyman:
If you takes photos in favor of a team:


- take your position next to the goal (or in the far corner of that goal) that is, the goal your team is attacking - use a wide angle for cornershots
- go into a low position (get down on your knees)
- take your position at the long side of the swimmingpool (if, sunlight in your back)
- look for a high position to give a totally different angle (above shot)


O, and pay attention on the reflection of sunlight in the water. If the shoot is in the evening, make sure you are in time to meter the artificial light (and what it does with relfection)
