Womens Hoops and Happy Remotes






Well sports fans thats the same play from two different cameras, one hand-held and one remote. Looks nasty either way.

Georgia's Angel Robinson (33 in white) gets her hand in the face of Alabama's Camilla Blands as they scrap for a rebound as the Lady Bulldogs beat Alabama 71-53 in Athens on January 20, 2008.

So we went for two remotes. A 17-35 by the press table (there was TV so under the basket just wasn't realistic) and a pole remote, as there will be NO around the rim action so a backboard one is pointless. In an effort to get consistant color out of ambient light, i preset the white balance on all my cameras off the same white towel the other day. I can't stress enough how important setting the white balance is when you're shooting ambient inside an arena. It takes 30 seconds per camera, and yea you could miss a Tom Brady Touchdown in that amount of time but really... preset the stuff and that will make you a much happier photographer in the end and much less to correct later.

Georgia played a very sloppy 71-53 victory. They had stretches of bad/not rebounding and dumb turnovers. Anyways, here's some photos.
