Great sports resource,

This review is from: Digital Sports Photography, Second Edition (Paperback)
Excellent guide for the new sports photographer who is unsure about where to stand and what settings to use! This book helps with all the details such as this and has really helped to answer some questions for me. It makes a great gift to a college student who is majoring in photography and interested in sports and the first chapter is about how the author got started and is an inspiring story! Lots of wonderful pictures and every major sport is covered well! well worth the price!

This review is from: Digital Sports Photography, Second Edition (Paperback)
The book has intersting info like what kinds of photos would make an editor's cut. This is clearly based on author experience.
I also like the breakdown of tips based on several popular sports like baseball, basketball and his personal favorite, football. But the book lacked some technical info that many newbie sport photographer would like to know. How to reduce depth of field when shooting from more than 100 ft away. Not everyone will be able to shoot up close and personal. It would ha e been more interesting to share common technically problematic areas that he has overcome. Overall, a good biographical piece.

Aimed at the professional, not the amateur,

This review is from: Digital Sports Photography, Second Edition (Paperback)
First, the author spends a good amount of time describing his own entry into big-time sports photography. Interesting, but not very helpful for this amateur trying to learn the best way to photograph junior high and high school basketball, in particular.
Second, there are frequent references to film photography, despite the "Digital" in the title. Why? Does any sports photographer still use film? Third, too much space is given over to basic info like "learn the game so you can predict where the action will occur" and too little on the mechanics of sports photography. In sum, if you want to get in on the ground floor of photographing sports action, buy the DVD "Digital Sports Photography Made Simple." It's considerably more helpful and accessible to amateurs and beginners. As for books on the subject, I'm still looking for a really useful one.
