First basketball game of the year... and an overhead remote

Put a D800 and 300/4 in the upper reaches of the arena as a remote for the first game. I was quite pleased with the results. Floor stuff was shot with a D3 and 85/1.8G. Let me know what you think.

#2 is awesome. Nice set.

Nice work on the overhead shots. Great set all around.

Terrific stuff. All of it.

Excellent shots all around. Great work on the overheads!

I took a second look at these #1 is just a fantastic capture!

wow, amazing... how did you do the overhead shot?

I was just going to ask the same thing, how did you manage to get the overhead shots...lol first photograph in the set is a clear foul, excellent work.

thanks guys. I'm getting ready for football right now but I'll get a shot up of the setup later on. I super clamped and safety cabled a D800 and 300 f/4 to the railing of a catwalk. Grabbed focus just a touch behind the rim using live view... gaff taped the focus ring for creep. Triggered with a pocketwizard. Only problem is the D800 is a little slow on fps, so no motordriving.

Here's a shot of the setup. Don't know exactly how high it is up there, but it's quite a ways.

Was the 1st one a foul? Lol

Stunning work.

Thanks, and yes it was called.

I went back and looked at my non-selects and found the same play from the floor. Here it is (unedited)... things got a little heated.

thanks for sharing your set up with us...and on a side note if that happened out here number 21 would be rejected from the game...

Very clean and crisp! Go Vols!

Nice work.
