Out-takes, observations and other insight from the field

On assignment to shoot the opening ceremony for the Central Meadow at Chambers Creek Properties I wanted any lead shot to show the place. The only trouble was that the place is large and flat. The only way to show it well is to shoot from a higher angle than I can reach doing the usual "hail mary" (holding the camera over my head).

The solution in this case was to shoot a higher hail mary, with the camera atop a monopod, using a radio remote release (in my bottom hand).

Composing accurately is trickier than it is for the usual hail mary, and trying to catch a good moment involving the people at the event meant that I had to wander around with the camera up and at-the-ready for 20 minutes.
