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..

Didn't you love the amount of gear those sports illustrated guys had.. talk about lens lust !
