Evening,
At most games these days you will get a mixture of shooters who are wiring direct to their news desk (or someone back in the wire room), shooters who have runners and then the rest of us who are attempting to shoot / edit / wire (all without poking someone in the eye with a 400mm / missing the next bit of action).
While the thought of having a runner / editor is so appearing I sometimes wonder how I would feel about the loss of control - of course one could argue that a picture desk editor knows what sells so will know how to crop and do a few edits .... but I sometimes wonder if a shooter has nailed a shot and in his/her head knows how it should look only to see a botched job once processed ....
I guess you just get used to it after a while?
