Action Photography: Approaches and Techniques for Recording the Decisive Moment

This powerful book puts photographers on the inside track for capturing outstanding sports and action photographs. Action-packed photos depend on the photographer having lightning-fast reflexes, a thorough technical knowledge of camera equipment and film, and, above all, an understanding of the event being recorded. This book emphasizes the last point particularly, because the photographer who can anticipate what's likely to happen next can be in the right place at the right time with camera and lens poised for a winning shot. Indoor and outdoor shooting are covered, along with common technical problems you may need to overcome when shooting each.
