Customer Reviews

Informative

The information provided in this book helps one select their field of choice for sports photography. The tips are helpful. Once you study the composition of the pictures and not the people's clothes and hairstyles, you're able to better understand the author's advice.

Good advice, better tips.

I enjoyed the author's use of photos, I just wish I'd had a copy of this book when I was younger. Some photos were older, but the principles behind the photography and techniques don't change. I like the tips on the little things, such as non-slip shoes on wet surfaces, and where not to take photos, such as two contrasty areas, brightly sunlit and sharply shadowed. I've already shown it to a couple of up-and-coming high-school athletic photographers I know.

A very helpful book indeed

I found this book to be very helpful to someone thinking of a career in Photography.It covers many different aspects of the subject, and gives the reader many different options to consider within the field.I now know that I must try to narrow down my choice a bit more!Thanks for the great advise.

An Extremely useful book for photographers of all levels

The book gives detailed explanations of how to shoot various sports photos, even what type of lens to use. It emphasizes capturing the emotions, which I wish more sports photographers would do, maybe I would enjoy the sports sections of the newspapers more. Mr. Arndt displays many creative and timely photographs in his book. Many of the tips can be used in any action type photography, not just sports.

The book is very precise and the photography is exceptional

I really think alot of work has gone into this book...anyone reading it could follow the directions and begin taking good pictures, however, you won't get the type of pictures in this book without the proper equipment...It will take some investment of time and money on your part.
