We're covering the York Revolution in Lakeland, Florida this week, and attempting to shoot everything in video if we can get the technical gliches figured out. Some newspapers have already gone entirely to video, picking the stills straight from the video, running those in the paper.
Shooting video has enormous advantages, but we've not found a solution for darkly lit sports--basketball games, night football, etc.-- as yet. But we will. For now, we're juggling the stills and video camera, and that's an inconvenience, but sometimes downright frustrating. For example, we were shooting stills Wednesday when Ellie Rodiquez tells his terrific stories about catching Nolan Ryan's fourth no-hitter. We get a good head shot, but miss the audio stories. And I'd like to hear those stories again.
Keoni De Renne continues to be a fan favorite, and one of the nicest guys you'll meet. Jim Seip did a story about Keoni trying out with a Japanese team. This is the shot that went with it. Can you tell if it's from the video camera or digital still?
