|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Final Four photo gallery links thread Kevin Seifert, Photographer Durham | NC | USA | Posted: 1:20 PM on 04.05.09 ->> Being in North Carolina, I have had the luxury of covering the tournament since 1999. This year, I have to follow the stills from many of my shooting mentors and colleagues. The News & Observer staff has always been the leader in coverage in these parts. Chuck Liddy and Robert Willett are in Detroit and other staffers like Ethan Hyman are covering the campus. Check out their work at http://blogs.newsobserver.com/multi/april-4-2009-unc-83-villanova-69 or http://www.newsobserver.com. The N&O is basically the McClatchy wire coverage too. The Herald-Sun located in Durham has Mark Dolejs on the front row in Detroit. His photos can be found at http://heraldsun.southernheadlines.com/Gallery/ or http://www.heraldsun.com/ Todd Melet is covering the games for WRAL. http://www.wralsportsfan.com/unc/image_gallery/4892377/ Please post any gallery links to still shooters you know at Ford Field.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

MCT (McClatchy Tribune Photo Service), the McClatchy wire, is here as we are every year no matter which teams make it. While we do draw images from Robert and Chuck, we have two shooters here and of the 300 images sent from the semi-finals the majority of our images come from our own photographers. The N&O is working on the network set up by MCT and is using camera transmitters provided by MCT so they can be wired directly into the editor in the back allowing faster filing times -- as MCT has done for years at the Final Four.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Rouse, Photographer, Photo Editor Washington | DC | US | Posted: 2:09 PM on 04.05.09 ->> I hate to knock any shooter/editor, but WRAL needs to edit tighter than what they are doing. There are at least 5 images that are not in focus in that gallery. I know it's not easy being on deadline... Delane  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It truly takes a team to cover these huge sporting events. I regret the oversight which was not intended as a dis. As Delane points out, editing is equally important to making great pictures. I am hoping more people post links to slideshows on this thread. Newspaper websites could use the clicks.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

George is right, the mother ship helped us out in incredible ways. My concern after seeing your post is how WRAL, a television station, received a still shooting position at the Final Four for their website use. The photographer in question supposedly is credentialed by the Fayetteville Observer...this is a HUGE violation of the NCAA photo agreement. Misrepresentation by someone obtaining a credential...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
