Sports Photography? Ok, I have been a photographer for several years now, doing landscape photography, "industrial" photography, and special event work. Recently I have been taking photos at sporting events ranging from college level rowing to professional racing on my own time, and I have not only found I have a knack for it, but I rather enjoy it. My question is, what is a good way to break into the Sports photography biz? Specifically racing.. where I have by far had the most fun. Does anyone know?
What is a good name for a sports photography business? I am trying to think of a name for a small sports photography business. We will also do some portrait work, photo DVDs, and possibly other things down the road so the name can't be too photography specific (in other words - no ABC Photography). Our names are very unusual and difficult to say so we can't go that route. Any ideas?

What is the best camera to buy for sports photography? First of all I am a PHD user of cameras (Push Here Dummy) (I don't want to deal with changing of lenses, focusing, backlighting, etc.) I have 2 kids in sports (soccer, gymnastics, basketball & football). They are often far away in the middle or on the other side of the field and of course in action! I want to be able to take quality CLOSE UP pictures with PHD function - good, fast, self-focusing zoom function an absolute must, and multiple fast repeating shots. So what are the best ones out there - I am not made of money so I would like to stay well under $1,000 while maintaining quality of picture and product performance. Anyone who has the experience to advise on what the aspects are to consider with regard to zoom capabilities/multi-frame shots and/or pinpoint a couple of selections would be greatly appreciated. (We have 7.0 mega pixel purse size camera, but its zoom while O.K. for nearby photos is O.K. just won't cut it for the sports!)

What is the best camera setting for sports photography in lowlighting? I am shooting with a Canon Rebel XT 350D. It is easy to stop action during the day, in the natural daylight. But what about when the sun goes down. I am finding it hard to stop action. The camera is not focusing as fast and my pictures are coming out blurry. So after a certain time I just quit shooting. What am I doing wrong. I have been using the auto/sport setting. And no I don't have an external flash.
How can I start a sports photography business? I want to take the children's team photos for baseball, football etc. around the community. How can I get started doing this? What are some good digital photo programs or websites that would allow me to turn out professional looking cards, gifts, and photos? I am looking for images, backgrounds, logos, things like that. I think my question was misunderstood. I take great photos, everyone thinks so and my work is frequently complimented. I am basically looking for a program that adds the details on the photos, like the team name, logos, and graphics, different designs of my choosing. I am also looking for a great place to get the supplies or ideas for gifts such as photo tote bags, bag tags, cards, etc. that I can add my images to and re-sale. I have the edge of this business in my community, due to my persistence and the quality of my work, but want to "keep them coming" with innovative ideas and creativity, and am looking for some terrific programs to work with, or places to get some inspiration and supplies. Thanks!

Freelance Sports Photography Rates? I've decided to do some Freelance work on the side and have found a local magazine in the Midwest (U.S.) that covers local high school sports. They've just started and have only put out a couple of issues, but I sent them some examples of my work from a high school football game I shot last week. They decided they liked one of my shots and now are asking me what I charge. I've been looking on-line and can’t seem to find any rates of what most people charge. I'm new at this as are they, so I'd rather not ask them and not get what its worth. I have no idea what a reasonable amount would be. What Ballpark range should I be asking for a single Hi-res action shot that will prob. take up 1/4 page in a new local magazine that prob doesn't have much of a budget?

What DSLR camera do I need for sports photography? Im trying to get into photography but I just cant find a camera to buy that meets my needs. My budget is around $650 but could go up to around $800 if a lens is included. I will mostly take pictures at sporting events. I love professional sports and go a lot throughout the year so I know I will need a camera with a fast shutter and a good lens. I also go to museums and plan on taking a big trip to Washington DC and will take a ton of pictures there. When looking at cameras what should I look for that will show me if the shutter is fast enough for sports? Im brand new to photography so I don’t know hardly any of the terms of what to look for. So I will mostly be using the camera for sports but also outdoors and a few museums. I know I need a DSLR but after reading a ton of websites Im just confused. Im looking for a list of a few good cameras for professional sports that falls in my budget of around $650-$800. I will be taking pictures at all sports but mostly baseball and some football if that matters.

Are there any photography clubs or enthusiasts in South Wales? I'm looking for any photography clubs in South Wales to join, preferably near Ystrad Mynach/Caerphilly.

What do you think of this photography business name? I'm starting my own photography business and was going to concentrate on sports photography to start with so I came up with the name Play by Play Photography. My only concern is that it won't transcend to other areas well if I decide to start doing weddings or portraits. But maybe that wouldn't even matter... Any thoughts?
