Great for parents - Maybe not so much for the more advanced [Posted on 2007-08-12]
This video is produced with parents in mind and it's very well done.

If you are a parent of an athlete and want to take great sports photos with your consumer level DSLR there is much in this video to make it worth every penny of the price. Get it, watch it, and go shoot ... your photos will improve.

As a sports photo pro I bought it thinking I might pick up a few pointers and/or ideas. I did get a few things from the video, but nothing that made me stand up and cheer.

If you are a pro with a 1D Mark III and a 600mm f/4L lens, this might be the video for you.

Excellent buy! [Posted on 2008-08-29]
I own a Cannon Digital rebel XTI. I was looking for something to help me shoot my kids sporting events. This CD was excellent! Terms and settings are explained in simple laymens terms. I highly recommend this!

Intuitive and at just the right level technical jargon for anyone [Posted on 2008-09-19]
This is a very nice video on taking sports photography. Doug Jensen does his thing at a very nice pace and makes sure all that are watching understands what he is saying. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to any amateur photography wanting to understand the basics for taking sports photography.

An Excellent DVD for Learning the Basics [Posted on 2008-11-06]
Let's start by getting this right out front - this is a very well done presentation. A tightly narrated, no-nonsense overview of the topic. If you're the kind of person who's come the realization that point-and-shoot cameras are worthless for shooting sports photography regardless of how many megapixels they have, and are looking at moving up to a DSLR to start taking some decent pictures, this video is perfect for you. It's interesting and very easy to understand. It will assist you both with equipment (including selection) and technique.

If you're a photographer, digital or film, with a working understanding of exposure and other basic photographic concepts, and have a bit of experience and common sense, this DVD will be kind of wasted on you. You may pick up a couple of neat little pointers here and there, but not enough to make the purchase worthwhile. I don't say this to slam this item in any way, it's simply directed at a fairly novice audience. It's not hard-core material that will take a skilled amateur photographer, never mind a pro to the next level, and the DVD is up front about that in the first segment of the program.

Easy to follow sports photography video [Posted on 2008-11-12]
I am an amateur photographer who shoots mostly high school sports. This video was very easy to follow, with great narration from the author. He specifically does not use equipment that is out of reach for the beginner/intermediate photographer. Every picture used in the video was taken with equipment that is relatively affordable. This is a good video for a serious, but amateur, photographer. It does not provide highly technical solutions for more advanced photography. I have watched the video numerous times, usually with my camera bag in my lap, to try the different settings and suggestions as the narrator goes through each section. As the title would suggest, this is a video focused ONLY on sports photography.
