    Wow, some amazing shots in the past winners links.

    The gymnastic shot is mind twisting. And the swimmer shot.... umm, I guess the flash makes their costumes see through. :uhoh

    the swimmer is cool, but man, as a cyclist and photographer, that image of the french track team in Athens made my heart skip. Awesome stuff. nod.gif

    I was just curious, there are several really good photographers on this board.
    I actually sponsored one not long ago and he was able to join sportsshooter. I was just curious as to why more shooters from here dont apply or try to get on there.

    When I looked, it seemed to me you had to be a pro or a student. Plus, I didn't know any members who could sponsor me.

    I'm waiting to build up my sports shots a bit. I did some cycling last year, but not as much as I had hoped. I'm all setup for the spring season though, so I'll have a go at sportsshooter later this year.

    Thats great, when you get ready just shoot me an email.

    I would be happy to take a look at anyones portfolio and give an honest critique as to whether or not they may be able to get on sportsshooter. The final say so will be from the owners/moderators of that board.

    I have had a few guys that I worked with for a couple weeks and some for months but we finally got them shooting well enough to get on there.

    Just let me know if theres anything I can do to help anyone to reach their personal goals.

    Im not saying Im all that but, I can offer some positive advice and helpful suggestions. If it hadnt been for others helping me, I would have never made it.

    I have a pretty kite. Maybe we could go fly them together.

    BTW, from now on, I'm titling my emails to you with sportsshooter as otherwise you don't seem to read ANY OF THEM!!!

    I'd love to get on SharpShooter, but I am just not sure that my local race scene pictures are worthwhile enough for someone to sponsor me there.
