New Sports Photography Book -- Quick Review

I picked up a book over lunch today: Digital Sports Photography by G. Newman Lowrance. It is targeted at “beginner—intermediate” by in paging through it, I found a few things that made it worth the $35 price tag (Buy at Amazon for less).

1. Photography is excellent and many shots have the little “side stories” that provide great insight.

2. Chapter 4 -- “What an editor looks for” at 20 pages is worth the price of the book alone since it is written by Kevin Terrell who used to be managing editor at NFL photos and has now moved over to WireImage.

3. Chapters 5 though 10 are approximately 150 pages of how to shoot baseball, basketball, hockey, football, tennis, and soccer. Each chapter is fully illustrated with shots and suggestions including positioning, what to watch for, equipment, etc. Again, a good refresher along with my notes before a new season, as well as a great tool for friends and students that want to learn more.
