Express Action Sports

What does the job include? How much money do they make?
I wrote an article for the school paper and my teacher brought up this career that I never thought about doing.
Thanks.
I’m a huge baseball fan. I love the Red Sox and know a lot…most would say too much about them.
I like basketball and football too. I know the general rules of those games and some key players on teams I like.
How much would this help me?

Read about various sports, become familiar with the jargon used & all the different writing styles for each particular sport. You wouldn’t really get to focus on one particular sport until later on in your career. Keep a journal & practice writing (or blogging today I guess). Attend live sporting events; think how U would approach writing the story for the local newspaper/major newspaper in the area, or Sports Illustrated (two different styles) — and then write that story (or those stories). Now, compare your story(ies) to what was actually written in the paper & SI. Is there something U missed? Did U see something that they missed? Learn what makes you a good writer and capitalize on it. Your style is your signature.

Take photographs at sporting events as well. Learn about good composition, exposure & capturing the action. Whether U move from the print realm into the video realm these basics will help you develop your eye for the action).

Money-wise, U won’t really see the big bucks unless U are really good & usually later in your career with national exposure. Most sports writers do it for the love of sports. Starting out at your local paper as a "freelancer" or a summer intern could help U decide if this is the right career choice for U. U won’t know until U try.

Best of luck to U.

I’m specifically talking about the video of Ara Abrahamian jumping down the podium and throwing his bronze medal on the floor.

As distasteful as his actions were, they are most definitely videoworthy and now seems like video sites like You Tube have removed the video claiming copyright, and on another site, it says it can only be viewed in Sweden.

What is this?

Are there any video sites that are free from copyright entanglements these days?

The televsions networks pay huge amounts of money for the rights to the games. Any unauthorized use of their images is not allowed. You will here and see an anouncement about this at the end of most televised sporting events.

As for getting a high end camera many use a cheaper camera as they are good prices and great videos only gig is the audio which many use a audio recorder on the side.

Sony Cameras are the ones many use in the HD area its a lot of money in the area of $4,000 min to upwards to 5 to $6,000

Ski/Board Rock climbing and Bikes, targeting young men and woman that are into extreme sports.

Part of a good marketing mix would be a PR campaign due to the unique nature of your store for starters. You can target market in your local area via Google AdWords and start some local sponsorships of certain sporting events. You seem to know your demography so see about having fliers advertisements located in malls and other areas your target audience would frequent.

Tying in promotional sales incentives to new customers can cause some word of mouth buzz as well as increase store customers.

Any idea where I can find the Prime Sports video clip (the promo clip – short one 3-4 minutes between sporting events) which features skiiing action. The song played in the background is Rock N Roll… Goes someting like "Been a long time since I rock and rolled….". I dont need just the song – but the video clip too. Any help is highly appreciated. I had seen it on the Prime Sports channel in 1992-1994, and cant get it out of my head.

Yeah…easy. Youtube is one of the most comprehensive video websites, with millions of watchers and thousands of videos (at the very least!). Yahoo! Video also turns up a lot of videos (but those videos are all from other websites…or at least they mostly are).

I am an amateur photographer and have started selling my digital photos, after years of family and friends telling me I should! Mostly Action Sports pics. Now several people have asked to buy the "digital images" from me. I mean basically they will be able to order and or print their own pics, defeating the purpose of me coming to the event and photographing them. Don’t get me wrong, I never buy from photographers either! I always have taken my own pics of my kids/family. I bring my camera everywhere. But the thing is, I was there with my camera and took the pic. How much should I sell them for? I mean if they don’t buy the prints, then what would I do with them anyway? But then again, if I just give them away, what am I doing this for?
I’m sorry, I really didn’t make that clear. It is the person/s who are in the picture that want to purchase it. I get invited to sporting events, usually by the coaches or parents, I photograph the games and am trying to sell the pics to the parents.
Also, what makes any pic I take copyrighted? Do I have to do anything?

Obviously I am new at this (lol) and appreciate any advice! Thanks!

I don’t really understand who is wanting to buy your image.

You need to understand about copyright law in this circumstance. Will you be selling the copyright to this person, which means they will own the image?

Looking for an SLR under or around $500

I take a lot of pictures at sporting events like grappling, wrestling and jiu-jitsu tournaments, as well as MMA and boxing events so i’d like something that can take very good action pictures with with sometimes not perfect light.

i’ve been researching the Panasonic DMC-FZ18S for these preferences… anyone got any suggestions

go for 350d canon
or pentax k100d

or if you can offered

go for canon 20D

very good models for sports photography

How do you feel about extreme sports? Would you like to try any of these?

Does it bother you that people gamble on sporting events?

I love racing & wrestling they are fun to watch. I do gamble on sports and nothing is wrong with it.

Your off topic in the cameras forum, but I’ll answer anyways.

What you are looking for is a television that has a refresh rate of 120Hz or higher. It looks like they call it 480Hz Sub-field drive. That is the technology you are looking for when buying a Viera TV. For best playback, get a set that also includes 24p Cinematic Playback.
