What do you shoot when the game is on hold? Cheerleaders, of course.

Exactly, they are snaps between snaps (on the field), but both have earned thousands of page views on our site--just close ups of a part of the game that many fans like to look at. As I think about it, most action sports shots, especially if used for deadline publication, are simply snaps, quickly cropped and edited, then uploaded. Just the nature of the business.

Think about it. I can compose shots in some sports, especially auto racing. Set up a good clean background, hope for good light and wait for the car to come by. Others, especially football, you're on the sideline elbow to elbow with other photographers, officials in front of you, and a guy comes running by or a guy cuts across and catches the ball. You shoot what you can get and do your edits in the computer. A photographer who consciously tries to compose a shot under those conditions just missed it.

a snap shot is a shot without consideration to the light, BG, composition, color, etc. If you are taking the details into consideration and somewhat preparing for a shot, you are not snapping. The more things considered, the greater the possibility of a good shot. Also, how would you explain that some sports shooters are better than the others? the presence of a 600mm lens? or some other skill that is not money or luck?

think about it...

basketball shots taken above the rim reqiure an elaborate remote control setup, with the consideration to lighting, focusing distance and so forth. Car racing reqiures a choice of location, knwledge of dragging a shutter, a good eye and perfect timing. The list goes on. It is true that
sometimes you are not able to consider all the details that go into a fashion shot.

When I look at the photos you posted I am looking at the shots of a person who is not very experienced, and still trying to figure out the ins and the outs. The reason for that is that a more experienced photographer wouldn't have even kept these shots. There are lots of way to take
good "snaps" and even more ways to take a good cheerleader ones as well
