Here are a few pictures from this year’s Washington Redskins Training Camp in Richmond, VA.

Since 2013, the Redskins have used the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center as their primary practice facility for the start of their annual training camp. The state-of-the-art facility includes two natural grass football fields, a world-class weight room, several meeting rooms, and other amenities for the visiting fans. This year’s camp will run from July 28 to August 14. From there, the Redskins will move their camp to their practice facility in Northern Virginia.

As far as taking photos, the facility allows you to get pretty close to the action. You can stand roughly ten feet from the practice field. I would recommend using a telephoto lens and shooting in the shutter-priority mode or in manual mode. You will need to shoot with a shutter speed of 1/500 or higher to truly freeze the action (I suggest 1/800 or higher). You may want to use your high-speed continuous mode as well.

Enjoy the pictures.
