Floorcam outtake v.2
February 26, 2006
Here’s another outtake from the floor cam - these from the Ole Miss/UK game on Feb. 22. That’s UK’s Randolph Morris watching Todd Abernethy hit the deck (and nearly my camera) after a bit of action under the basket.
The great thing about the floor cam, or any remote camera, is that since it is fired remotely (with a foot switch in this case), it allows me to shoot with two cameras at the same time. Check the next two photos of Brandon Stockton getting stuffed by Tubby’s boy Brian Smith. You may also be able to tell the difference in the quality of the cameras used. Notice the skin tones and shadow detail. The floor cam, which rests on the floor at my feet, is a Canon 1D with a 17-35mm f2.8 lens. The hand held camera is a newer Canon 1D MkII with a 24-70mm f2.8 lens. More photos from the game can be seen at heraldleaderphoto.com.
I think this link is the best part of the the Online Herald Leader. I hope it continues in the future. I really like this photo from different angles because I feel like it places me on the floor at Rupp and gives almost a 3D perspective of the action. Photo stories tell so much and I enjoy seeing all the angles.
