Guide to great Amercia’s Cup photography<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. You don\u2019t have to shoot the races themselves, as practice racing will take place on Friday 24 July and all competing teams will be out testing the water and the race course before the big event.<\/li>\n
  2. With the racing\u00a0taking place along Portsmouth\u2019s extensive shoreline, there\u2019s plenty of potential for great shots. A long telephoto lens is a must if you want to fill the frame, and don\u2019t discount a standard zoom for wider scene-setting shots.<\/li>\n
  3. Striking backlit shots, with the catamarans silhouetted against the sky and the water sparkling in the sunlight, can work well. Shoot in manual, underexposing the scene, while a raw file will give added flexibility later.<\/li>\n
  4. With plenty of events taking place on the shore, give yourself time to explore inland as well, as it has potential for plenty of informal shots, details, candid portraits and action shots, especially with the Red Arrows display on 24 July.<\/li>\n
  5. If you take any great shots of the America’s Cup event, make sure you share them with us the Amateur Photographer Facebook page<\/a> or Twitter account @ap_magazine<\/a>, and we’ll share the best ones with our followers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
