High resolution news photo blogs
Boston.com’s Big Picture started the trend, but there have been some recent upstarts in the world of high-resolution news photo blogs. I love these types of sites, the world is more interesting in HD. Print media is dying, but journalism is more than words on paper.
- St Petersburg Times’ All Eyes – Both local and wire photos
- Wall Street Journal Photo Journal – Wire photos, mostly as photos of the day collections
- Whitehouse Flickr feed – Whitehouse specific, but most photos are available in very HD. So much so that I’m sure they have to go through intelligence clearance.
- NY Times’ Lens – Barely qualifies in my opinion as the photos aren’t very large format and trapped in Flash, but there is some decent stuff
Anyone know of any more?
This is a great aggregation of sites. Thank you so much. I have been looking for these sites for a long time.
While not strictly blogs, the “in pictures” sections of both BBC News and The Guardian have decent-resolution (>500px) galleries on various subjects, and both have a “Pictures of the Day” feature.
Both also have blogs proper, but they’re more wordy. The BBC’s is entitled Viewfinder and the Guardian has a tie-in to its Camera Club group. In the past they’ve also had other staff contributing, but they seem to be quiescent.
Anyway, a bit of a non-US (but English-language) perspective, if you’re interested.
