Peter Read Miller Gives Tips on Shooting Football Like a Pro at Kingston's Icons of Photography Web site Award-Winning Sports Illustrated Photographer Helps Digital Enthusiasts Get in the Game.

Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced that award-winning sports photographer Peter Read Miller has published a new series of tips and techniques on how to get great shots during a football game for the Kingston Icons of Photography Web site.

"Whether it's your favorite professional or local school team, Miller's tips will be invaluable for those who want to capture great action shots like a pro," said Jaja Lin, Flash product marketing manager, Kingston.

During his lengthy career as a sports photographer, Miller has covered a wealth of football games. In this month's tip, Miller discusses the value of preparation for shooting football and how the work one does off the field helps ensure being in the right place at the right time when on the field.

"If you're going to shoot a sport as complex and demanding as football, you have to be prepared," said Miller. "Understanding the sport and the strategy of the sport are really essential to capturing great photos. Most people take this for granted and they shouldn't. It could mean the difference between shooting like a pro and sitting on the bench," added Miller.

A sports photographer for more than 30 years, Miller's career evolved from a high school hobby. He has shot for Sports Illustrated for more than 20 years and has more than 90 covers to his credit. Miller attended the University of Southern California where he shot for both the yearbook and athletic department. In addition to Sports Illustrated, other editorial clients include: Time, Life, People, Money, Playboy, Runner's World, USA Weekend and The New York Times. Corporate clients include: Nike, Adidas, Footlocker, Eastman Kodak, ABC Television, Panasonic, Coca-Cola, Visa, The National Football League Properties and Canon Cameras.
