How does Scott Kivowitz's technique of using shutter priority mode enhance action photography?

When I switch to shutter priority mode for action, I’m deliberately choosing the one setting that matters most for movement: shutter speed. I lock that in (for example, 1/500–1/1000s for wrestling, sports, or kids running), and let the camera handle aperture and ISO.

That trade-off gives me:

1. Consistently sharp subjects with less motion blur
2. More mental bandwidth to watch timing, expressions, and composition instead of juggling three exposure settings
3. Faster reaction time when the action changes suddenly

In short, I let the camera “think with me” on exposure, so I can focus on the moment.

What kind of action are you photographing right now—sports, kids, wildlife, something else?
