I found this an interesting little grab on life as a photographer at the Ashes.

I love Tim Clayton's work - he's brilliant. I remember going to some basketball matches a few years ago where he was working, and I spent practically the whole time just watching him do his stuff.

HUGE!!
This reminded me of this interesting article on the workflow of Sports Illustrated's photographers:
http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-6453-6821
The SI team at Superbowl XXVIII (whatever the hell that is) took 16,183 images over 6 hours.

What I found interesting in the sports illustrated link is that they always use grain surgergy noise filter for the shots..
