A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Dude, I'm the official photographer of a team playing in the top league here. First of all, if you want to take decent photos, in that sport, you have to be close, and I mean real close. Then you have to watch games, a lot. You have to learn their timing and movement. Pre-focus at a specific point and wait for the photos to come to you. If you start chasing the ball, you already list the game. Try to see the fleeing moment they stay still in the air. A LOT OF PRACTICE. And take into account a 5 to 8% of the photos you shoot will be usable. Even professional photographers have a max 8-12% of really usable photos.
