Capturing fast-moving subjects—whether it’s athletes in motion, wildlife in flight, or pets at play—can be one of the most demanding challenges in photography. Motion blur, missed focus, and poor lighting conditions often leave photographers frustrated. That’s where fast lenses come in. With high-performance telephoto options like the Tamron 70-200mm F/2.8 and Tamron 70-180mm F/2.8, you can freeze action with precision and clarity. These lenses offer wide apertures, quick autofocus, and flexible zoom ranges, making them ideal for tracking and capturing high-speed moments. In this guide, we’ll also share actionable action photography tips to help you make the most of every opportunity when shooting with these powerful Tamron lenses.

  • Freeze fast-moving subjects with wide apertures like f/2.8 for crisp, clear images
  • Track action accurately using the fast and precise autofocus systems in Tamron telephoto lenses
  • Improve low-light performance with the bright maximum aperture of fast lenses
  • Adapt quickly to dynamic scenes using versatile zoom ranges like 70-200mm and 70-180mm
  • Ideal for sports, wildlife, and motion photography where timing and lens speed are critical

Action shots with fast lenses typically encompass genres like sports and wildlife photography, but the techniques are useful for capturing a variety of fast-moving subjects. Additionally, the Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 (Modelo A025) for Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras (or mirrorless bodies with an adapter) and the Tamron 70-180 mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 (modelo A065) for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras are not only excellent for motion—they’re also fantastic tools for general-purpose photography.

Essential Gear for Action Shots

While high-performance zoom lenses like the Tamron 70-200mm and Tamron 70-180mm are vital for action photography, your success also depends on using the right supporting equipment. To consistently capture sharp, dynamic action shots with fast lenses, consider adding these essentials to your kit:

  • Sturdy Tripod: A reliable, durable tripod provides stability for tracking fast-moving subjects and helps eliminate camera shake—especially useful for panning shots or lower shutter speeds.
  • High-Speed Memory Card: Action sequences often involve burst shooting. A fast memory card ensures your camera can write large image files quickly, so you never miss a critical moment.
  • Extra Batteries: Continuous autofocus and high-speed shooting can drain your battery faster. Carry spares to stay ready during long action sessions.
  • Kit de limpeza de lentes: Fast-paced environments like sports fields or wildlife areas can be dusty or wet. Keep your fast lenses for action shots clean for optimal clarity.

With the right combination of gear and fast Tamron lenses, you’ll be prepared to capture even the most fleeting moments in crisp, high-quality detail.

Most Important Camera Settings for Action Photography

Existem três variáveis principais na fotografia - velocidade do obturador, abertura e ISO - e os fotógrafos experientes as conhecem bem. Talvez mais do que qualquer outro gênero, entender como a interação desses elementos é fundamental para obter fotos de ação incríveis, portanto, familiarize-se com elas e brinque com as configurações apropriadas na lente e na câmera.

1. Shutter Speed

A fotografia de ação tem tudo a ver com a captura de objetos em movimento, o que torna a velocidade do obturador crucial para obter boas fotos. Recomendamos que você defina a velocidade do obturador antes de tocar em qualquer outra configuração e, em seguida, ajuste todo o resto de acordo. É comum selecionar velocidades rápidas do obturador entre 1/500 e 1/1.000 ao tirar fotos de ação, especialmente em fotografia de esportes. No entanto, se você quiser acentuar o desfoque, uma velocidade de obturador mais lenta seria a melhor opção.

2. Aperture

Como muitas vezes você estará fotografando com altas velocidades de obturador, precisará de uma abertura ampla, para que entre luz suficiente para que a foto seja exposta corretamente. Isso normalmente significa que você precisará de uma abertura em torno de f/2.8 ou f/4, para que a luz seja suficiente. Entretanto, se estiver fotografando em plena luz do dia, poderá ser necessária uma abertura de f/8 ou superior.

3. ISO

Além de ampliar a abertura para obter uma foto bem exposta, também recomendamos que você aumente o ISO. Isso tornará a câmera melhor na captura de imagens em condições de pouca luz.
