La photographie de sport
by HASSELBLADA richly illustrated work dedicated to sports photography achieved with HASSELBLAD camera systems. This guide presents the techniques and methods developed by acclaimed photographer Erich Baumann to capture sporting action with excellence. The publication begins with a biographical and professional introduction to Baumann, an established photographer in Ludwigsburg whose passion for sports led him to develop unique expertise in sports reportage photography. The document expounds fundamental principles of focusing and composition for capturing moving sporting events, notably the use of continuous focus and aperture management. Multiple concrete examples illustrate these concepts: photography of sailboats under way, galloping horses, and track cycling. The work also addresses essential practical aspects such as background selection, the use of telephoto lenses (Tele-Tessar 500 mm and 1100 mm), and the panning technique to convey movement dynamism. The color photographs demonstrate the application of these techniques across various sporting disciplines, showcasing the mastery of composition and color rendering that characterize professional sports photography with HASSELBLAD camera systems.
