Product Review Summary: Out of Date I purchased this book awhile back, but left it laying on the shelf. Started reading it this past week. Covers the material fairly well, but the digital camera has advanced since this writing. Also I found it to be very general with little to no get in their face type information.
I have not gotten much from this book.
Product Review Summary: WASTE OF MONEY Don't buy this book.
I did and am VERY disappointed. The photos are very uninspiring in general, and very little useful knowledge.
Instead get "Sport and Action". A much better book.
Product Review Summary: Great Book for Sports Photography Enthusiasts This excellent book very clearly targets "enthusiast," part-time, and semi-pro photographers taking photos of sports. It's clearly not intended or marketed for the pro, who will know most of what's here, or for the beginner, for whom there's more information than they need. But, for the weekend warrior sports photographer, parent, or person intent on learning and practicing digital photography using sports as subject matter, it's perfect.
The best things about this book are that it is a) filled with sports info from a wide variety of sports photographers each specialized in their own area; b) it is very readable and conversational; and c) written by a photographer who knowledgeably shares his experiences and techniques and doesn't talk-down to readers.
I got a lot out of the general sections of this book, and from the sports-specific sections that interest me and relate to what I shoot (mostly bicycling). It made some photography concepts really clear in a way that I had not found in other books I've read on photography.
It was an enjoyable and informative read and continues to be a valuable reference for me.
Product Review Summary: Nothing More than Common Sense If you're brand new to shooting sports or photography in general, then this isn't a bad book. It covers alot of the basics acrss different sports that if you'r not familar is a decent introduction. However, if you've ever been on a sideline shooting as I have for the last few years - you'll learn very little new that will make you're pictures better. I learned more in a 20 minute conversation with a real sports journalist than I did reading the book. My recommendation is to rent this one from the library or buy it used if you have to have it. My copy is now for sale on ebay.
Product Review Summary: 0 Stars - I actually threw this out 20pp on what a great int'l fencing photographer he is, followed by fluff, then a rehash of some digital darkroom basics. Absolutely a disappointment; publisher's marketing group pulled one on us with this title.
(BTW, great work in the photos; sounds like a good guy)
