B&W Sports images thru the years

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo: Creativity, Etc. : One Thread

Having just re-watched Ken Burns Baseball videos I am again impressed by the still B&W images from the past. Truly impressive work. And NO color to detract from the image & subject matter. To see the changes in technique and vision as years passed & new photo gear came out is instructive & interesting. Anyone else out there look at this stuff & see the talent of the photogs in getting action stopping & eye catching images?

Some of the talent is pretty hard to get though isnt it. With thousands of dollars in a lens.

Now you see why I like to use my Speed Graphic. although I cheat a bit. I use a Norman battery strobe on it.
