Helpful Photography Instruction
This is an excellent book. Very helpful and instructive. I found it well worth the cost. Answered all the questions I could think of.

Sports shooting defined
I like how the authors provide personal background so there is credibility, then they walk through equipment, positioning and some problem solving for each of the sports discussed in the book. It was an enjoyable read, not just technical details, but techniques.

pretty good
It is a good book over all. The author explains the every thing pretty well and goes into detail with the setting you should ude, where are good spots to shoot, and gives lots of tips. He also shows some of his pix he took and explains some of them. this is nice book for people who want to learn more about sports photography.

Informative and interesting
The book has intersting info like what kinds of photos would make an editor's cut. This is clearly based on author experience.
I also like the breakdown of tips based on several popular sports like baseball, basketballand his personal favorite, football.
But the book lacked some technical info that many newbie sport photographer would like to know. How to reduce depth of field
when shooting from more than 100 ft away. Not everyone will be able to shoot up close and personal. It would ha e been more interesting to share common technically problematic areas that he has overcome.
Overall, a good biographical piece.

Great book!
I bought this book for my husband who takes action photos for our sons sports teams.When he opened it at Christmas, he wasn't too sure about it and definitely wouldn't have bought it for himself. He was very surprised at how good this book was and how the authors' experience was very similar to his own. The book addressed the very issues he was having problems with, especially how to deal with different lighting situations. Great information! ... Read more

Excerpt: Online gambling is a general term for gambling using the Internet. Online poker tables commonly offer Texas hold 'em, Omaha, Seven-card stud, razz, HORSE and other game types in both tournament and ring game structures. Players play against each other rather than the "house", with the card room making its money through "rake" and through tournament fees. There are a large number of online casinos, in which people can play casino games such as roulette, blackjack, pachinko, baccarat and many others. These games are played against the "house", which makes money due to the fact that the odds are in its favor. Bookmakers, spread betting firms and betting exchanges offer a variety of ways to wager over the Internet on the results of sporting events, the most popular being fixed-odds gambling. There are a number of online bingo rooms offering games on the Internet. Most lotteries are run by governments and are heavily protected from competition due to their ability to generate large taxable cash-flows. The first online lotteries were run by private individuals or companies and licensed to operate by smaller countries. Most private online lotteries have stopped trading as governments have passed new laws giving themselves and their own lotteries greater prote...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2213921 ... Read more
