A former professor of mine invited me back to Kent State University for a free workshop while we were at the book signing together. Of the two possible workshops, I chose to attend the presentation by the Columbus Dispatch’s Kyle Robertson on setting up remote cameras for sports photography. It served well as an intro to the concept, covering the basics of mounting, rigging the wireless triggers, as well as how best to get clearance for setting up cameras for events. The best part came at the end when we all got some hands-on time with the gear. I hope this becomes a regular thing.

-Just to get some practice for working under a deadline, I gave myself half an hour to edit the photos, write the intro, write cut lines, and post this piece.

This was the final demonstration set up.

In groups, photographers often find themselves in “Mexican stand-offs.”

We got to see a lot of cool kit.
