Sports Photography Tips

[pixel pete]

Hi everyone,
I just posted some tips on “Sports Photography.”

I hope it's useful. If nothing else, I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Thanks for the tips, Peter .. I may never get to concentrate on sport, but am saving your link for the day when...
Now I'm a bit distressed because I have one particular sport image to show you but can't find the b.....!

Pete,

"Their attitude towards soccer was understandable since US soccer has an image problem"

Do tell? We don't get to hear much about what you call (cringes horribly as though the fingernails of death screech down the blackboard of life) "Soccer" from across the pond.

I love the blog, BTW!

Mark,
Thanks for your words of encouragement on the blog.

Are you sure you want to hear about US Soccer?

Every time I read something in the newspapers here, it absolutely kills me.

Ready or not, here goes:

1.Which football-playing nation would ever think of hiring a coach who has never played the game internationally? Note, neither Steve Sampson, Bruce Arena nor Bob Bradley has ever played professionally or selected to play for the national team?

2. No disrespect to Becks, but the money MLS spent on bringing him over could have been spent on luring more quality players instead of one. Didn't they learn that anything?

Beckenbauer, Pele, George Best et al played here in their twilight years. Yet they seriously thought one man can do what those stars collectively couldn't?

Sorry I'm going to shut up. I'll be banned if I continue. Please feel free to delete this post Admins

Pete that's nothing, mate!

I seem to remember the U.S. giving England some problems in a world cup a few years ago!

Pete, you should see what the British "press" prints here every week, not only about sport!

Trust me, your lot are tame.

Mark, U.S soccer will never amount to much. I can't imagine something like this happening anywhere else in the world.

When the US Mens plays in an important match, you can't get the game on any mainstream English speaking network.

Thank God for the Spanish stations here in Southern California. Hey, this has nothing to do with photography, sorry. But I did ask you to not get me started.
