I am not interested at all in the world cup but I am interested in photography. Photographers from Getty Images have been blogging about sports photography and apart from the sports aspect I have found it really interesting reading.

There are descriptions of what it is like photographing such a big event plus some great tips for anyone interested in this field (pardon the pun)

take one goal scorer (in this case Henrik Larsson of Sweden), one goalkeeper, (Paul Robinson of England) and then mix together with the two missing ingredients. One is obviously the ball. The other, which is often over-looked, but for me makes the picture complete, is the goal post. The goal post helps us place the other ingredients in the right context. You can see that it’s a goal and not just another missed chance.
