Review: Great reference for intermediate to expert photographers - I am a teacher with a side business in photography. I am my school's official photographer. For my situation, as a semi-professional photographer who is frequently faced with shooting a sport with which I am not intimately familiar, this was an excellent reference. It would also be great for a parent who is into photography and wants to get great shots of their kids' games. The best part of this book was its detailed discussion of "peak action" - the moment when the One Great Shot happens. It goes sport-by-sport to talk about how to predict and capture peak action - technical camera details, mental aspects, where to stand to get the best shot, and how to get coaches and officials to let you stand there. The book also included a brief discussion of when to get a release and how to market your photos. Although neither was dealt with in detail, it provided a framework for further research into these two topics.
Review: Three Stars - It's ok ... rather the Miller book on sports

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sports Photography 101
*by J***P on January 8, 2009*

It's an O.K. read. Maybe a little dated... For example: Digital or Film. Really? Seemed to state the obvious too often... like to get good at sports photography you have to go out and shoot sports... Good end of chapter recaps: "Points to Ponder"... Not much depth in any topic... Some good tips in each chapter but you have to watch for them because he doesn't dwell on any one thing too long... Good chapter introducing photographer interested in getting into the business.
