Sports Illustrated’s Digital Workflow
Rob Galbraith has a very interesting article that looks at the day in a life of Sport’s Illustrated magazine, focusing on its digital workflow at the recent US Superbowl.
“But Fine, who is Sports Illustrated’s Director of Photography, has a monstrous job in front of him, and there’s no such thing as too much computer. He’s chewing through SI’s take from Super Bowl XXXVIII, 16,183 digital pictures shot in Houston’s Reliant Stadium by eleven of the magazine’s staff photographers over the course of about six hours. It’s 11:00pm, an hour-and-a-half after the game has ended, and Fine is stashed in SI’s media trailer outside the stadium with six other SI employees. The photographers, their work done, left half an hour before.”

these guys are insane!
Good luck with the 0.5s per photo viewing. You can barely detect if there's a photo or just total darkness
Or the "usual kit" of about 20kg (+ ~10 more for basketball)...
I know they don't all hang around his neck but having just three on hand would result in serious back pain.
I only had a D2h with 12-24DX and 2x SB800 in a shoulder bag or around my neck for 5h and my neck was killing me at the end.
I'll leave the extratelephoto stuff to them if they enjoy it, I'm sticking with fisheye and ultrawides for my sports. Much more exciting

Fascinating article, and it is amazing what goes into taking a few photo's of a Footie Match!
Incredible amount of camera kit, computer kit, and personnel to provide half a dozen images for a magazine. And the photographer is just one small part of the process, he doesn't even select or review his own images.

I'd hate that - imaging not being able to choose what you think are your best shots? What if the editor chose a stinker!
