Pros:
A lot good tips such as taking pictures for several sport type, at what angle from the field, use of lights, lenses, exposure and taking pictures of specific events.
Cons:
ALL photos should (and not few of them) have the exposure information (aperture, ISO, shutter, WB, etc). Information about others sport will make this DVD better, such as car race, equestrian, boxing, boat sailing, and more about track sport
Do I recommend it?
Definitely YES, the DVD has good basic information about how to start taking pictures for sport events.
I would give it 3 ½ stars but the AMAZON system for rating would not let me
Another good DVD for learning basic photography (No sport related) is Jump Start Your Photography 3 DVD Set by Manny.
Rating: 3 / 5
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.

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!

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.

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.
