Newspaper photogs transform into Web videographers
York Daily Record/Sunday News photograph Jason Plotkin produced this still image of the laying of sod at Sovereign Bank Stadium. For Plotkin's slide show on the work, see below.
In a previous post, we linked to York Daily Record/Sunday News photographer Paul Kuehnel's tour of the Hex murder house in East Hopewell Township.
A newpaper photographer taking video?
Our shooters are increasingly carrying their video cameras with their still cameras. Sometimes, we send two photographers to a scene, one to shoot videos and the other stills for the newspaper.
The fact is that the newspaper has become a news center, the Web unties its publication cycle from the printing press. Now, we can compete - and beat - radio and TV.
Our folks have come up with some good stuff. Here's a brief tour:
