For those of us who don't read The Guardian, could you please give us some of the details? I'd love to know how Reuters takes photographs.

You were asking about whether the Soapbox had returned and this thread confirms it or soon will

It’s interesting that the Guardian devoted so many words to describe the photographic process but, frankly, it’s nothing that thousands of other paparazzi haven’t been doing for a very long time. The picture, itself, really isn’t either that good or very newsworthy. Without further explanation there is no context. A very forgettable image that is simply being used to exploit his sad situation. Time will tell if the picture has any lasting impact or if there are any associated awards. Now, a picture of him in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit standing before a magistrate might be worthy…

The article sounded like a story made to fit a picture It's just a pity that it wasn't film, he had used Rodinal and was asking for some advice on Photrio . Now that might turn out to be a real story with some substance

The handcuffs and orange jumpsuit may have to wait until immediately after his appearance in front of the congressional committee. Unlike the Corleone family I feel the chances of his elder brother appearing in the public area at the hearing as the unwitting saviour is very remote

Yeah, i do not see the genius in

‘Everything needs to align’​

To quote The Guardian ............. "Reuters photojournalist Phil Noble staked out police station for hours, just catching ex-prince as he sped off"

Weegee did all that kind of stuff for years

I thought thr pictures showed a lot of fill, particularly the picture of Erin Patterson

The best I've seen of that photo was on Facebook marketplace this morning. Someone had photoshopped it onto a Royal Doulton commemorative plate (Limited Edition Accountability Series) and offered it for sale for $25.

Who woulda thought...

He didn't want to use the phrase "decisive moment". Trademarked.

Never heard of it, more likely

That redeye, should have used a flashcube extender on his Instamatic

That redeye, should have used a flashcube extender on his Instamatic

That says to me: "deer caught in the headlights".
It makes the image, for me.

 

[gbroadbridge]

Best thing about it was it removed images of another head of state off the front page for a couple of days.
A least until this morning. sigh.

AMEN TO THAT.

That redeye, should have used a flashcube extender on his Instamatic

The redeye should have been eliminated as it is a failure of the camera's flash reflecting back the retina of a person's eye,s in this case, trying to make him look evil. Honest editors would not use a picture like this or edit out the redeye that every photo editing program has. It;s phoney and a biased picture.

 

[BrianShaw]

That’s hilarious; almost ludicrous. It’s a happy snappy. Red eye happens. Means nothing except it’s not a very good picture.

 

[ic-racer]

In my opinion this is a much better picture. Not only is it film, it is so good people have called it is fake.

Ilford Calendar 1985 ; may be worth something now?

they prefer red-eye apparently.

a good point: it's not a flaw, it's a feature!

Red-eye! Must be the same photographer. So he was on the island too?
