Sportfotografen schoten zich suf in Peking
Terugkijkend op de Olympische Spelen verbaast Newsweek-fotograaf Vincent Laforet zich over de onwaarschijnlijk grote hoeveelheid foto's die hij in 16 dagen maakte.
In Beijing, with a total of 6 cameras, I shot: 28,444 files for a total of a whopping 480 Gigabytes of images! That’s INSANE! Even I am shocked.
Ook geeft hij een inkijkje in de duizelingwekkende aantallen foto's die de fotografen van Sports Illustrated produceerden.
SI shot over 300,000 images of which their staff kept 17,000. One of their editors took that down to 1046 “super selects” and then their director of photography Steve Fine, edited his selection down to 135 images. That means their “best of” turned out to be 0.045% of what they shot.
Terug naar zijn eigen foto's:
Out of the 28.444 frames that I shot, how many of them had “one star or better?” 1,509. Of those how many were transmitted? 273 - that’s just under 1%. Yikes…
Shooting this much volume equates to shooting 790 rolls of 35mm 36 exposure rolls of film.
So there it is - we’ve veered far off of the path of shooting one sheet of film at a time haven’t we?
