Remote Cameras

I love using remote cameras to get impossible shots. Before the ceremony, I snuck up a tiny hidden staircase behind the alter that led to where the pipes were for the organ. I secured my D2x with 10.5mm fisheye and Pocket Wizard with a special trigger cable up there. You can barely see my black pants in the doorway at the very back of the church. I'm shooting with another PW attached to my D3 with the 70-200 f2.8. When I squeeze the trigger to get the traditional tight close-up of "the kiss", my remote camera fires simultaneously to give me a different perspective. Who said you can't be in two places at once?!?

I have to say that this shot (below) is super duper cool! It's very much "you" and totally rocks. You never cease to amaze me with your skills!


Hope you're doing well!

Hi Chris,

I personally do not know you, but I love your photographs. I'm a Radio Telecom Engineer living and working in Melbourne, still learning how take good photos using my D80. Thank you very much for your educational comments.
All the Best, Nish
