1,028,000 Digital Photographs

Posted by michael on from the quantity-beats-quality dept.

cdneng2 writes "Rob Galbraith has an in-depth article on the digital photo process of Sports Illustrated. The article walks through SI's digital workflow of Super Bowl XXXVIII as it sorts through the 16,183 digital pictures shot by eleven of the magazine's staff photographers and the process all the way to the cover of the magazine. Sorry, no Janet Jackson or swimsuit pics in this article."

    All around the world /.'ers are looking at sports pictures and saying:

    So that's are what other people look like...

    What's that bright round thing in the sky in some of the pictures? It doesn't look like any fluorescent light I've ever seen!

    How can I IM those cheerleaders "A/S/L?"

    Is there a torrent for those million-plus pictures?

    www.john316.com isnt a geek site! Who is that guy?

      Looking at the cheerleaders, if you have to ask what their sex is, you're definitly confused.

    16,183 or 1,028,000?

    I should probably RTFA. Maybe that will make sense.

    It was a *big* film - we took the getting paid option, so you'll have to guess which :-)
    Well, it's pretty obvious:

    a) You aren't too keen on telling anyone what movie you were associated with.

    b) After paying you, they had no money left over in the budget for decent actors.

    Gigli , right?

    Itis the property of NFL and its owners.

    I suggest we user UberBowl to refer to the final playoff game of the nationwide professional football leage.

    "Warning: Camera geeks make computer geeks look tame" I'm a sys admin for a photo lab, and therefore both a computer geek and camera geek. How big of a warning sign should I get?

    It is mathematically impossible to amass 1,028,000 pictures and not have at least 312 SI swimsuit shots.

    The proof is left as an exercise for the reader.

    The same system was used on the 'The world was not enough' trailer, where the large quantities of mostly-naked women gyrating around with oil being poured on them suddenly made the visualisation tools *far* better than they used to be...

    Just the thought of mostly-named women gyrating round with oil being poured on them makes my, er, visualization tool much better too, if you believe size matters.
