| A digital sports photography article would
have been fairly brief as recently
as a couple of years ago. In essence,
it would have stated that digital
cameras have unacceptable shutter
lag, and cannot yet achieve the
frame rates of their film cousins.
End of story.
Well, that particular story has
in fact ended. These days the
focus is on digital cameras finally
reaching the level of film cameras,
and being widely used with great
effect in digital sports photography.
The aim nowadays is to point out
the clear benefits offered by
the digital route.
In fact, a number of excellent
books have appeared on digital
sports photography, confirming
that this type of photography
has finally become an acceptable
mainstream digital activity.
In 'Digital Sports Photography',
G. Newman Lowrance offers a wealth
of information on the techniques
and equipment you will need for
successful digital sports photography
- either as an aspiring professional,
or taking shots at the local basketball
game.
Lowrance has many years' experience
of digital sports photography,
and his pictures have been widely
published in Official Super Bowl
and Pro Bowl game magazines, NFL
videos and calendars, NFL Insider
Magazine, and elsewhere.
He doesn't hold back, and gives
you a lot of information from
some excellent sports photographers
and editors. Issues such as color
management, camera setup, and
equipment options are covered.
You will discover all the ins
and outs of the unique techniques
applied to shooting for baseball,
football, basketball, ice hockey,
soccer, and tennis.
Lowrance also uses his own experiences
in digital sports photography,
and gives true, autobiographical
examples of how to get started
and how to succeed as a professional.
His book features many eye-catching
sports action photographs that
will generate excitement and inspiration.
The informative content will motivate
you to become familiar with new
aspects of the technology, stimulating
a keen interest and involvement
in this aspect of photography.
In short, 'Digital Sports Photography'
will give you the help and guidance
you need to make your photos stand
out from the crowd!
Another book that illustrates
how far digital sports photography
has come, is 'Digital Sports Photography:
Take Winning Shots Every Time',
by Serge Timacheff and David Karlins.
This book helps you to take great
shots by overcoming obstacles
like rain and crowds, bad lighting,
fast-moving athletes, flash limitations,
and other challenges.
The authors give advice on how
to shoot a wide range of sports:
extreme, outdoor, indoor, competitive,
recreational, and more. The book
provides many full-color examples
illustrating professional tips
and techniques, and shows how
to tackle skilled digital sports
photography with any kind of digital
camera, from point-and-shoot to
SLR.
And the bottom line for many aspiring
digital sports photographers is
that this book will also teach
you how to actually sell your
images!
One of the advantages of digital
sports photography highlighted,
is that once you have the equipment,
including enough batteries and
memory cards, it doesn't cost
anything to snap away at that
baseball game...
