Sports photographers: Mark J. Rebilas
The man!
Okay, so here’s another one of my “reviews” of some of my favourite sports photographers.
Mr. Rebilas is an experienced photographer out of Phoenix Arizona, and primarily shoots racing and football, but has shot everything from the Olympics to the day to day life on board an aircraft carrier.
He is a member of sportsshooter.com, and according to his biography on his main page, he’s been taking pictures since the age of 10 when he, together with his father covered racing events all over America.
One of the reasons I like this guy is because of his blog. Mark shares his techniques and on each and everyone of his pictures on his blog has information regarding shutterspeed, aperture, ISO settings, and which lens he used to make the shot.
Right now he’s showing of, his “best of” pictures of 2009 dividing them up into which type of sport it is.
His blog gives you access to a lot of stuff, but there is one place where this photographer shines.
Remote photography.
This guy, as far as I’m concerned, is the king of remote photography. With a lot of guts and Pocket Wizards this guy gets shots that other people just doesn’t.
Wanna see more? Mark takes it up a notch, when on vacation with fellow photographer Jennifer Stewart , he attaches his camera on the side of different vehicles.
When it comes down to it though, the name of the game for pro. photographers is to get their pictures published. Mark did just that with this photograph of MLB left fielder Manny Ramirez, when he got it published on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
My favourite picture of his so far, is actually of the before named MLB player. This was one of the pictures he send in to S.I. in his attempt to get the cover spot.
Mark J. Rebilas is fun to follow so if you like sports photography check out his blog from time to time.
