Every NBA basketball game has many photographers sitting in the basketball field isolation zone, taking pictures of the game. About twenty? or more? They sit under the basketball stands, it is terrible because the players will slam dunk or block over their heads and equipments.

They work so hard and show us many wonderful pictures, but do you know their success rate of taking wonderful pictures? I gusses, maybe thousands of pictures will be taken every game, but only dozens of pictures can be shown to us. What's more, almost all the pictures we see about the NBA basketball game are taken by high speed shutter. Why don't they use the slow shutter? I think it is because the slow shutter will bring lower success rate. What's your opinion on this?

One more question, do you think with the development of the high-speed video camera, the place of Sports Photographers will be replaced?

Very good English!

Sports moves too fast for slow shutter speeds. The players in the pictures would be blurred and unclear!

Until high-speed video cameras become as cheap and as versatile as still photography equipment, I think there will still be place for still photography in sport.

Hi Roy :)

Thank you so much for your encouragement, corrections and comments.

Yes, slow shutter speeds makes pictures blurred and unclear, but following shooting method is widely used in race and skating, it has difffernt effect :)

Have a nice day

Ah yes, I know the effect.
Maybe it is just a little too 'arty' for what the magazines and newspapers want to print.
