I do have to say, that the biggest impact I have seen of digital on "professional" jobs, is the ability to shoot based on speculation. Basically, the more coverage and choices available, the more likely your sales will go up. You are already at the venue, anyway. When I was shooting film, I really had to be careful in this type of environment.
As an example, I have become the league photographer for the local little league here. I am to provide action shots for the parents to buy. My pay is based on what is ordered. There are 26 teams and about 400 players. So a single shot of batting and fielding would yield about 1000 shots. Realistically, pitching, running, fielding and batting all need to be covered much better than a single picture. My posted count on the ordering site (thank goodness for automation) is around 5600 images. I still don't have all the teams covered yet and some coverage is less than I'd like. This type of shooting would have been inconceivable with film. The cost would be too high. Again, coverage and choice is very important, making the quantity count go way up. Here is a link to it, if you are interested. http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?EventFrame?event=06RZ000D -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, May 18, 2005, 11:14:51 AM, you wrote: SB> Wow!
