Sportsshooter

For those that don't know, there is a website called Sportsshooter that I frequent. On the most part I go to see what others are shooting and to see what I can do to better my sports photography.

I've attempted to become a member in the past by submitting some of my favorite shots, but was declined. Not sure why but I'm guessing it was because I didn't have any captions attached to any of my images. From what I see and hear, Sportsshooter is a site for professional sports photographers, journalist, and students. Quite a few of these photographers are shooting for professional teams or newspapers. At this level writing captions can be just as important as the action shot itself. This is the area where I lack. At the level of sports I shoot I don't really deal with captions, just no need for it, but in order to become a member of Sportsshooter I needed to add this and get a better understanding. Well now I think I'm ready to resubmit my pictures and this time I have captions.

So hopefully the Senior Photographer at Sportsshooter, whom I asked to sponsor me, will think I qualify and approve my request.
