Sports Photography: From Snapshots to Great Shots, author and sports photographer Bill Frakes shows you how to capture the key elements of sports photographs–motion and emotion, style and scene, place and purpose–whether you’re at a baseball tournament, a track meet, or a professional football game.
Starting with the basics of equipment, camera settings, and exposure, Bill covers the fundamental techniques of sports photography–understanding lighting, handling composition and focus, and timing peak action. He explains how to choose a shooting position on the field of play, identify the defining moments away from the action, and learn the etiquette of covering live sporting events. He then breaks down the shooting processes of specific sports, outlining the challenges and demands of each and showing how to isolate individual athletes in action.
Beautifully illustrated with large, vibrant photos, this book teaches you how to take control of your photography to get the sports photo you want every time you pick up the camera.

I was really excited to get this book. I've been shooting high school sports for several years and was hoping for some insights to improve my results. I was very happy when I pre-ordered the Kindle version and it popped up on my iPad before the publication date. But it was downhill from there.
As to the intended audience, Frakes writes, "This book is designed for photographers of all levels who want to raise their game" (p. viii). Perfect, I thought - that's me. Unfortunately, he seems to be writing for people who are already somewhat knowledgeable about photography (he assumes an understanding of how aperture affects depth of field, for example), but who know nothing about sports.
For example, when talking about DSLR's, he mentions that the Nikon D7000 "handles low-light files well, shoots 6 frames per second, and gives you a large file to work with..." (p. 7). But he doesn't talk about why frames per second or low-noise, high-ISO capabilities are important. Also, he is a Nikon shooter and often refers to specific Nikon equipment. It would have been much more helpful to refer to equipment specifications so shooters of any brand would be able to benefit from his recommendations (for examples, see pages 8 & 9).
I don't know if he really thought people who want to shoot sports are this ignorant, or he needed to fill pages, but who the following are intended for I cannot fathom:
About weightlifting: "The object of the competition is to lift the most weight." (p. 172)
About wrestling: "...only two athletes wrestle at a time." (p. 175)
"The object of the game of golf is to cover the course hitting the ball as few times as possible while still finishing each hole." (p.
