PDN's Ultimate RSS Feed of Olympic Photo Blogs
Lots of photographers and photo agencies are keeping blogs from the Beijing Olympics.
To help you keep track of them all, I've created a blended RSS feed of all the Olympic photo blogs I can find. It should work with RSS readers such as Google Reader. This is an experiment and might have some bugs, but let's give it a whirl.
Without further ado, here's PDN's Ultimate RSS Feed of Olympic Photo Blogs.
It pulls information from the following sources:
- Behind the Lens at the Beijing Olympics (Zach Honig)
- The Toronto Star's Olympic Photo Blog
- The Games, Framed (Jonathan Newton of the Washington Post)
- Visions of China (Newsweek)
- Vincent Laforet
- Getty Images Sport Blog
- Reuters Photo Blog
- NBC Olympics Most Popular Photos
- Plus other stories I hand-select and add to the feed myself (via Newsvine).
(Update) More added! Keep 'em coming please!
- Photographer Sol Neelman
- Photographer Kevin German
- Photographer Mark J. Rebilas
- Photographer David Burnett
- Chris Detrick of the Salt Lake Tribune
- Larry Steagall of the Kitsap Sun/Scripps Howard News Service
- Richard Mackson (with Kodak)
- Kodak's "A Thousand Words" blog
- Matt Detrich of The Indianapolis Star/USA Today
- Kari Kuukka (in Finnish - not included in the combined RSS feed)
- Jens Dresling of Politiken (Danish – not included in the combined RSS feed)
- Scott Strazzante of the Chicago Tribune (no RSS feed, but I posted a link to his gallery.)
- Dallas Morning News Olympics photo page (again, no RSS feed)
- Sports Illustrated Photographers (also no RSS feed)
Trouble with the RSS link above? Here's the Olympics Photo Blog feed as a web page.

It would be interesting to do a blog on photo manipulation in the olympics... for example.. look at the following picture.. It appears a photo editor has cut out Jason Lezak's left forearm and replaced it with his face. You see the bubbles from his hand where his hand should be, at first glance it looks like its just air bubbles from his nose but if you look at his body position, you can tell the photo has been altered.

I disagree, Photo Joe. That image has some weird effects just by being an underwater shot of swimmers in motion. Why would somebody alter it further?
That said, there has been a lot of non-Photoshop image manipulation at the Olympics, from the CGI fireworks to the anthem singer whose voice was dubbed.
