This photo was taken from a camera mounted above and behind the net fitted with a wide angle lens. ; I used PocketWizard Plus III Transceivers to trigger the remote camera when I pressed the shutter of the camera I was using to shoot the same action on the ice.

Very cool idea Scott. I wonder if your low remote rate had to do with your release mode setting. Or did you prefocus and have the remote camera set on manual focus? Erich
Had the camera on manual focus. ; I was telling Dave I thought the back focus was not telling the remote to wake up the camera. He found that I was correct and I should have been half pressing the TEST button on the transceiver on my camera. ; I did this at the last minute and really did not prepare as I should have. ; Won't happen next time!
Very cool! ; I wonder if you could get one mounted right over center ice. The puck drop could be a neat shot from above
It would. Need to see if I can work the remote camera with the AF on for that first. They can lower the scoreboard only. No catwalks or such over to it.
But, if the camera ends up pointed at the white ice it will hunt with AF turned on. ; If you know the distance from ice to bottom of scoreboard and account for the height if the players and DOF, maybe pre-focusing at that distance on the ground would work better. ;
Oy, math! ; I thought you didn't need math with our do everything cameras? ; ; When the players are on the ice, they should give enough contrast for focus lock.

28,000 of my closest friends joined me at the Carrier Dome to watch the #2 SU Orange Men's basketball team make up an 18 point deficit to defeat the Villanova Wildcats, 78-62. Brought the Fisheye with me to document the event. Inside the Carrier Dome by Scottwdw
I moved back to Cleveland, where I grew up. Today proves I'm nuts. It's -3 degrees and dropping. Erich
