Game attempts at amateur photography? (9)

I believe the answer is:

snapshots

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'at amateur photography?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'game attempts' is the wordplay.
'game' becomes 'snap' (card game).
'attempts' becomes 'shots' (shot is a kind of attempt).
'snap'+'shots'='SNAPSHOTS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snapshots that I've seen before include "Informal photos" , "Photographs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
