I just found this little behind-the-scenes video that gives you a fascinating glimpse into the world of the professional photographers who took some of the most stunning photos of the Olympics in London.
It’s mad – there was a Reuter team of 15 snappers in the stadium – each carrying 3 cameras (tele-zoom, mid-zoom and wide-angle-zoom) while each operating up to 5 remote controlled cameras at the same time.
The results are equally epic – as probably all of us have seen.
I have a feeling though that sports stills photography will soon be taken over by super-high-def video – which would allow you to film eveything and then just grab the perfect still from the stream.
Maybe already at the next Olympics in Rio?
