RadioPoppers & PocketWizards, Oh My!

My good friend and fellow photographer, Robbin Knight, was covering Lisa & Justin’s wedding with me last weekend. (www.chrisandcami.com/blog). Like me, he’s another big fan of using every trick of the trade, including wireless technology, to cover all the angles and get our clients something unique and different. So between us we had as many as 8 remote Nikon SB-800 strobes AND a remote Nikon D300 firing at the SAME TIME!!! The strobes were being fired via RadioPoppers and the D300 was being fired via PocketWizards.

For our bird’s eye view of Lisa & Justin’s Horah, Robbin used his 96” ShureLine pole, normally used to hold a remote flash, but that we had modified to hold my D300 with a 10.5mm fisheye. He triggered the camera with a PocketWizard, which fired the on-camera SB-800, which told the RadioPopper to fire all the remote SB-800s. Meanwhile, there I am in the crowd getting the “inside” view with my Nikon D3/14-24mm combo, triggering the same remote flashes via a RadioPopper mounted on my SB-900.

It’s always so much fun working with Robbin. We had a BLAST!!! Plus Lisa & Justin couldn’t have been more fun to work with…

Published in Tennis Magazine

Most folks know I’m one of the Official Photographers of the Family Circle Cup. I’m also an avid tennis player with a USTA 4.5 ranking. So naturally I subscribe to Tennis Magazine. Last night I was about half-way through the new April issue…turn the page…and staring at me as a full-page add is one of my favorite shots of Caroline Wozniacki from last year’s cup!!! With this year’s tournament only a few weeks away, excitement is building. I think we’re going to have a FANTASTIC event this year!

As last year’s runner up puts it: “The 2010 Family Circle Cup is my time to shine. I came close to the title last year and now I’ve got my eye on the prize.”

Action News Magazine Cover

A few months ago at the big annual Professional Photographers of America (PPA) ImagingUSA Conference, I had the honor of having one of my images displayed on a huge banner at the entry to the convention center. (Check it out at http://chrisandcami.com/blog/2010/01/09/welcome-to-nashville-2/.) At the end of the convention, they even gave me the poster! Here it is on display in our garage…the ONLY place in our house it would even fit!

Well, a few days ago (on my birthday in fact), the new issue of SEP’s Action News Magazine arrived…featuring that same image on the COVER!!! J They also wrote up a really nice article about Chris & Cami Photography with some of my other images from the many sporting events we cover throughout the year. We’re very excited!!!
