The Associated Press has some outstanding photographers who place pics on their daily online page, but this shot is a real keeper. It's a picture that actually does take the place of 1,000 words, the whole story is laid out here in that one shot. I saw the game too, it was like this for all four quarters.

Turns out, if you click the pic, the photographer is Mark LoMoglio, and he's lucky to be alive. He was hit by a car while jogging in Tampa. Now, he's apparently well enough to make that cool shot.

That is a fine capture of a dynamic moment, although it says nothing about the whole game. Sometimes a photo that records the most important moment of a game is also valuable, even if it is not dramatic. For example, this digital photo from an area tournament in a small town records a somewhat static moment. However, it includes background information that makes it significant. Note the scoreboard: Tied score, final quarter, and 2 seconds to play. What was impossible to include is the game was already in its second overtime, and she made the shot.

I love watching film or looking at stills from Formular-1 in the 1950s, 60s and 70s.
Photographers are standing right next to the track, often on the Apex of a fast turn, behind a single piece of Armco....... or no barrier at all :smile:

Old school rally crowds were nuts. Always someone literally on the apex of a mountain road with a camera:

Sports are about that "decisive moment" more than anything. The best sports guys I knew were exceptional at that. One did ski photography and when you see Shawn White in a half pipe, the photographer is on skis, going BACKWARDS, while catching that shot when he's just coming off the lip.

The football guys I didn't understand until randomly meeting a former pro newspaper guy while out taking sunset pics. We had a half hour to kill so I let him play with my camera and he told me about actually studying tapes of the players and knowing where they tended to end up, setting his focus on THAT spot so he could track them with the long prime... it was quite a science. Especially in his day, which was mostly pre-digital. Kind of glad I met the dude, he told some good stories.
