Photojournalists: HDV frame grabs
Looking for opinions on HDV frame grabs in photojournalism. Is this
the death of 35mm stills in the "newsroom"? It is per this article by David Leeson, Dallas Morning News Executive Producer - Video and New Media (consider the source, I know, I know): http://www.sportsshooter.com/news/1774 I don't buy this hyperbole: "This is our chance to rise up and lead the world." But I think it is certainly worth discussion... |

Unless you also crank up the frame rate or at least the shutter speed, this method isn't much good for scenes with even moderate action or movement (unless you like motion blur). |

But it seems to me that it would be somewhat limited, it might be fine for small photos in a newspaper but for full page photos in a magazine I doubt that is has the needed resolution. Scott |

High shutter speeds on low-framerate video create a 'stuttering' effect, though. Not a look that journalistic video really goes for, especially not sports video. |

If you knew you were going to mainly be going after frame grabs then it would make sense. And if you really wanted the motion blur it could probably be added to the video after the capture with digital processing. Scott |

It depends on the quality (and I'm not referring to the technical quality of the images) you want. Still picture photography is very different from movies. What makes sense in one world doesn't work in the other and vice versa. So essentially the photographer will have work twice as hard: one time for the stills, and once more for the movies. -- That was it. Done. The faulty Monk was turned out into the desert where it could believe what it liked, including the idea that it had been hard done by. It was allowed to keep its horse, since horses were so cheap to make. -- Douglas Adams in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency |

But I think it is certainly worth discussion... The photos are undoubtely excellent, very nice texture and colours, but why use 35 mm anyway when there are so nice digital still cameras?Both my camcorder (Sony DCR HC-32 E sd mini dv) and still camera are so small that I can take both;-)While it's impossible to *use* both at the same time, using them separately makes sense.I'm of course far off being a reporter,I'm mainly a snapshot photographer, but anyway..... -- Tzortzakakis Dimitrios major in electrical engineering mechanized infantry reservist dimtzort AT otenet DOT gr |

I suspect where this'll be used is in some large news orgs. that have both print and/or web plus broadcast operations. One interviewer, one camera man. With an HD recorder, they can grab decent head shots or scene setters off the live or recorded feed, and save the cost of a second photog. There are many times when this wouldn't work. -- john mcwilliams |
