Sports & Action Photography For Beginners: Part 1

This three part series is a beginner level tutorial on how to take great sports and action photographs. It is taught by Don McPeak, a semi-retired pro sports photographer with over 10,000 publication credits.

Part One is a series of lectures about the basics of technical mastery: about using your camera as a tool. It begins with some fundamental concepts about photojournalism (Or telling a story through pictures) and is the foundation for the entire three part series. 

The balance of this first class provides insights into camera gear, settings, and how to manage light to help the student create their own mini portfolio for evaluation later in the series.
