Anyone else here shoot sports?
I'm very new to photography in general but I love the action and emotions of people in sports shooting.
Which sports have you shot and any good tips for a new guy?
I'll post what I have with me at the moment.

I don't often rotate sports shots. Usually because it just doesn't seem all that necessary to me. Unless it's more of a portrait shot.
Often I've tried to zoom too much in the beginning and can't rotate without a big crop though
