It was exactly the same in the incredibly weak Bundesliga game between HSV from Hamburg and HSV from Hanover.
At least this freakout has something positive: no photographer was able to capture this freakout because no one is allowed to take photos in this area. So the newspapers had to use footage from a pay-TV channel. So everyone could see that television pictures have incredibly poor quality and that it will probably be a few years before film cameras have pushed photo cameras off the sidelines...
Very well written and impressive images. Outstanding eye and timing in the "downfall" with Bruno! 😉
Thanks, Marco! I'm glad you're visiting my blog too 🙂
Hi Stefan,
First I have to tell you that I always like your pictures.
And on the other hand, I can perhaps allay your fear that at some point you will no longer be needed on the sidelines.
I don't know the production regulations for the Bundesliga. But the television images are probably produced using the interlaced process (also known as the interlaced process). And so it is always problematic to generate a still image, because the even-numbered lines are generated with a time offset from the odd lines and therefore do not fit together.
This increases the motion resolution, which is very advantageous in a fast sport like football, but prevents complete images from being created and putting them together results in artifacts.
So you can definitely keep taking pictures for a while. I want to too. 😉
Best regards,
Frank
Moin Frank,
Television images are still created using the interlaced process, but HD television is already in the starting blocks and the image quality is significantly better. Apart from that, IMHO there have been programs for years that turn two fields into one - and they're getting better and better with the artifacts.
