Video Killed The Photojournalist ?
A very insightful post from David Leeson on how the emergence of High Definition Video (HDV)cameras may become a 'threat' to some photojournalist. David's stance is that frame grabs from HDV are of a quality that is perfectly acceptable for print use. An obvious advantage that video has is that you have a frame rate approaching 30 frames per minute, so if you are shooting action you stand a better chance of getting just the right moment.
He also delves into the attitude of some fellow photojournalists, that using frame grabs is 'cheating'. These sorts of comments can be traced back to any sea change in photography and concludes that HDV frame grabs are probably just the next step in the evolution of how images are captured and communicated.
