VERY fast row team at incredible hihg speed

dusty sensor.

>>2900318
1. Dirty lens/sensor after days of shooting on location and constantly changing lenses
2. Photojournalists are not allowed to PP their photos for any reason

There you go.

>>2900318
Here today, gone tomorrow. Who fucking cares?

>>2900374
This, you don't retouch in this situation

for the same reason you'll never achieve anything worth keeping with your photographs.

because he could took the shot, while you couldn't.

like this anon says. a journalist at an event like this never stops. if he even allows himself to sleep, he still certainly doesn't have the time to clean his kit.

take a look at some of the best photographs ever taken. exclude landscapes and portraits. you'll see a bunch of shots that are taken at just the right moment. by people who've become technical masters with their camera simply to be able to operate it as quickly and automatically as possible. you'll see images with missed exposure, missed focus, dirty film and dusty lenses. the difference between their photograph and yours is that they were there at the right moment in time. a clean photograph even 5 seconds behind the perfect moment is an inferior photograph to the one caught at a perfect moment, but with a lens dirty from shooting in the desert for a week straight.

you don't clean your equipment until there's no more photographs to make.

You realize that those guys just do this right?

Except that picture was taken with a slow shutter speed.
And it was timed at the part of the stroke where you get the least body movement.

Photographer knew what he was doing.

>>2900318
Generally speaking
Photo journalists may not edit their photos
Lens corrections are usually allowed, but more often than not a journalist is expected to shoot in jpeg or just send the raw files and let a DI or editor handle it
Clone stamping this would've been fine imo, either an editor didn't notice, or the editor thought doing so would be unethical

>>2900699
Editing of any form is a way to get your press credentials revoked by the olympics. They do not play at all.

>>2900371

You're my new best friend.

You have no choice, either. You're it.

Like everyone else pointed out, you can't retouch the dust out. But also, all of this gear is rented out and is not the personal property of the photographers so they don't clean it themselves and the people lending it out probably don't give enough of a shit to clean all these piles and piles of cameras.

>>2900716
joke's on you I don't have friends

You do now, cunt.

I've taken some pretty nice shots from bridges as they pass under.
(but I don't post personal pictures on 4chan so don't even ask).

Rowing races are generally boring as fuck to photograph, I agree.

now kiss

Because Getty bangs out an image from camera to internet in like two minutes in order to get their shit out there first.

Using such a slow shutter speed artistically alters reality, and gives the sense that they are going faster than they are.

Absolutely no journalistic integrity / 10
