I have some experience with live sports deadlines shooting for my college, but I can't imagine the pressure (and the satisfaction that you must get at the end of the day) doing photography for the Olympics. <br /><br />My solution was to carry a net-book with SSD and tethered to my phone internet so that I could dump a card, tweak a few great ones, and upload them to wherever they must go in minutes. All while still on the turf in the thick of battle. What a thrill.SARGENTSCRUFYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596973455809100635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-391441870096108082014-02-18T15:22:34.001-08:002014-02-18T15:22:34.001-08:00Hey Jeff,

I am not even close to the level these guys are at shooting the Olympics but do shoot the odd high profile music event on the very small island I live in. Even for these gigs it is essential to get photos up on social media ASAP to build interest and interactivity as this window of interest itself is so short. Not many people care about an event 24 hours later or it has been surpassed by a newer event that is holding their interest. Consumers today expect things instantly and for websites to capture the consumer interest they have to meet these demands as best they can.<br />I hear so many times that a photogs job is getting easier with better technology and longer frame bursts but a photogs job isn't done when he finishes clicking the shutter. Higher demands are putting more pressure on photogs delivering these shots.JamesSPhotosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-80843627612245358742014-02-17T09:10:21.651-08:002014-02-17T09:10:21.651-08:00I am a new fan of yours, and have so enjoyed your ...I am a new fan of yours, and have so enjoyed your posts and really love your behind-the-scenes posts, as well as your extraordinary pictures!

Again - probably no time to pick on the fly - but I've heard about NFL photographers who star images in-camera and wirelessly send just the picked images in live time for wire. <br /><br />I'm a wedding and portrait photographer - so all of these questions may sound silly - but I'm just curious :)<br /><br /><br />Travis - Minneapolis Photographer and Videographerhttp://www.travisjohansen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-6038267371463265752014-02-15T15:49:28.956-08:002014-02-15T15:49:28.956-08:00I started shooting sports on deadline this fall an...I started shooting sports on deadline this fall and ended up with almost the same workflow. I shoot a lot of college volleyball and have to select images and transmit at the break between sets two and three. After reading the comments I thought I would add a few personal experiences. 1. PhotoMechanic is a must have for this. Lighting fast and available Mac or Windows. Builds thumbnails faster than anything I have seen and the metadata tools are first class. 2. If you are more of a Lightoom user you can set up a similar workflow and use Lightroom as your editor. I have presets set up to help with the tweaking. I use PM to do my selections and metadata and the dump just the picks into Lightroom for editing and cropping. 3. With fast memory cards, the new Lexar USB 3.0 card readers are screaming fast.Craig Pessmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868870213262223933.post-64440872301208817222014-02-15T15:07:24.326-08:002014-02-15T15:07:24.326-08:00I absolutely enjoy your blog!

If you do so, the protected pictures on your card appears as tagged pictures in photo mechanic and this pictures are imported first in the import-process. You save a lot of time because you can start editing this pictures right away (dont have to wait until all pictures is imported) and dont have to go throu thousands of pictures during the break.. :)Thomas andersenhttp://www.thomasfoto.comnoreply@blogger.com
