Wrestling vs Bloomsburg with remotes

Nov 30 2009

The day after the Indiana football game, I had to wake up super early and set up some remote cameras at the wrestling match. We lowered the scoreboard in the middle of Rec Hall that was directly above the wrestling mat, and I put two cameras on it. I used my 5DII with a 50mm and a 40D with a 16-35@16mm. I tried to pre-focus them, but it was hard since I had to just guess. I set wider apertures to get more depth of field. The shots are a little blurry, but pretty usable. I had no idea what the framing of the photos would be like, which is why I used two cameras. The 50 was a little too tight to fit in the whole Nittany Lioin logo but it got good action. It was nice having both cameras. Ultimately, I see myself spending $700 on a wireless file transmitter for the 5D or 40D so that I can see the framing and control the focus remotely.
