Tonight’s Pistons game was more energetic and interesting. The game was more fast paced than the last few have seemed, and the crowd was even seemingly more energized. I am not sure what it was that made the game feel that way, since the stadium was still only at less than half its’ capacity. I had a good game and made some good images. Overall I am happy with my image making lately at the games. Though I am wanted to upgrade my cameras, and think about it every time I take a photo. No matter, even if I did go and get a 5d mk III, as soon as I do, I will want the next release that is even better than that.exciting and interesting. I am still rocking 2 canon 20d’s and a 40d and a 50d. I shoot primarily with the 40 and 50 and use the 20ds as remotes. When using the speedotron lights, the 20ds performaa530772_10151274246893160_91256777_n just fine even with less expensive glass. This is because the focus is set manually, and the lights provide all the light you could need. This past game I shot two remotes in addition to my two cameras. I shot an overhead remote (see upper left) that was directly wired into the sync with the lights and fired by a pocketwizard, and a behind the backboard camera (see right) that was wired into a different set of lights so that the two could be fired in close succession to each other without waiting for the packs to recharge. Shooting a total of four cameras was a little daunting, but in the end I was happy with my images and would definitely not hesitate to shoot like that again, provided that everything went as smoothly as it did this time.
