New to shooting sports with a SLR? This is your best raining tool.,

Reviewer: Home Handy Man
I'm new to using an SLR and this DVD was the perfect training video. This
video tells you what equipment you need, how to set it up, where to
position yourself, and how to shoot for the best results. With my new
camera and this information, I immediately was able to produce good shots
during basketball and baseball games.
Well worth the money.

Reviewer: Consultant
Of all the instruction and training I've received over the years, I
thought this was one of the best, if not the best, instructional DVDs I've
ever seen. Doug Jensen has really set the bar. Every aspect of it was
extremely well done - scripting, structure, use of stills and video, video
camera work (I'm a video producer myself, so I paid particular attention
to that) audio (often a weak point in DVDs) and the use of graphics (I
really liked the 'through the viewfinder' parts - where sports action
video is shown framed in a SLR viewfinder) - even the glossary was helpful
in reviewing terms and also the explanation of the digital photo
histogram. Plus, it was loaded with tons of practical tips and advice -
the kind of things that a really experienced photographer tells you
one-on-one, when they want to help you out. For someone like me who is
transitioning from a film 35mm SLR to digital SLR - it was really helpful
to clarify the concept of EV (Exposure Value) and the interplay of ISO,
shutter and aperture. Yeah, I knew what they were - but to see the
relationship "in action" and how it changes from shutter priority to
aperture priority (depending on the shot) really reinforced the concepts.
If you buy only one resource for digital sports photography - this should
be it. It has a permanent place in my DVD reference library.
