How to use the website of Sportfoto München

1  Selection of type of sports

After entering the website of Sportfoto München you get the homepage with the possibility to select the type of sports. Six types of sports can be selected by click on a picture, the other types of sports are selected by click on the text at the left side of the page.

You get back to the homepage e.g. back to the type of sports selection by click on the button "Back to select kind of sports" on the right of the selection line. If there it says "Back to the photos" (like here in this screen), first click on this button. In this case you will find the text "Back to select kind of sports" on the next screen.

2  Input field "Search person name"

In the header of each page there is an input field where you can enter the name of a person you search. We will look for pictures of this person in our database and we will possibly display more photos than there are displayed under "events" or "personal galleries".

Enter a name and click on 'GO'. The name will be searched in the whole database, independent of your selection of type of sports or event.

Recommendation: Enter first and second name in inverted commas to avoid that other persons with the same first or second name will be found. Example: 'Philipp Lahm' with inverted commas finds exactely Philipp Lahm, while the same name without inverted commas also finds Philipp Kohlschreiber. But you don't have to care about upper/lower case.

The name you enter as search argument will be padded on the left and on the right end with '*', and this will always result in a generic search in our database. In addition blanks, umlauts and inverted commas are substituted by '*' too, and finally you can substitute each letter with '*' and cause a generic search in this way. Example: If you specify 'Julia Görges' we will search for '*Julia*G*rges*'.

3  Display event or personal gallery

After selection a type of sports a maximum of 24 thumbnails will be displayed. Now you can click into the context menue to select a special event or a personal gallery of this kind of sports.
