Remote work


When I got a set of Pocketwizards off Ebay last summer, I was wanting to set up a remote camera. I did it once with volleyball last fall and this past Saturday, I set up a baseball remote.

I used my Canon EOS 20D and old 80-200 2.8L as the lens. It won't autofocus anymore but is perfect for this setup.

It was raining that day, so I put a trash bag over the camera and PW. I sat in the stands and got this photo, which ran six columns in this week's Carlisle Independent.





The second and third pictures were taken at the same time. The third photo was the remote camera triggered by the PW on my handheld camera, the secopnd photo. It was taken with a Canon EOS 40D, 70-200 2.8L and a 1.4 TC

I was very pleased with my first effort at a baseball remote. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

State finals

The Lonoke Lady Jackrabbits lost to Shiloh Christian 51-45 in the Class 4A state title game on Thursday, March 12. It was Lonoke's third consecutive loss in the title game.
The photos were all taken with a Canon EOS 40D and a 70-200 2.8L lens at available light. Summit Arena in Hot Springs has some really bright lights!
