Basketball Tears – From Above



I’m still working on perfecting my shooting overhead technique. There are a lot of people that shoot in a big car friendly studio or set up a big C stand with a boom then shoot lots of frames in that one position. That might work well for a portrait, but for sports, I’m really leaning towards as much maneuverability as possible by just mounting the camera on a really really long monopod which I can swing like a boom above the action. Since sports shoots frequently capture repetitive action that repeats in one line I’m also thinking there are film grip solutions that would work well too…
