Sports Photographer, Jon Willey: How'd They Do That?

jon WILLEY !!!

[DODPHOTOGRAPHY]

personally, in my honest opinion, the only difference between a photographer working on weddings / portraits etc etc and a sports pro is GEAR, its who is willing to spend 8K on the best lens on the market. A lot of people know how to properly expose and compose an image, but being able to dedicate the capital to the necessary gear is just hard for 90% of so many professionals. Also, getting in the door is insane.

How about a thumb wrestling photographer? 

[Musicmixer1994]

Get an NFL photographer please or a MLS.

[boilerjack]

@Musicmixer1994 Not MLS- soccer jut sucks

[aleksandersandstrom]

@boilerjack atleast they do not interrupts the game every ten seconds in football, like they do in handegg!

[boilerjack]

@aleksandersandstrom yeah you're right, in soccer all they interrupt is the Entire stadium when the fans Riot & Set each other on fire, maim one another and destroy the venue.

[aleksandersandstrom]

@boilerjack haha, you haven't seen to much football mate. But yeah its been some riots, just like in hockey, when you have more people whatching the world cup then who whach the olympics (winter and summer) there will be some riots. But atleast they have more playtime intill the riots then an entire mach of handegg :)

[boilerjack]

@aleksandersandstrom I've seen enough football to know the best is played in Europe, Man U., Barca, etc, even when it isn't the W. cup fans in latin america throw urine filled bags at each other & euro-fans have hooligan parties (fights) yeah great sport. Hockey is just soccer on skates.

[aleksandersandstrom]

@boilerjack i agree with you on that! South africa ruind the last W. cup, the european championship is much better. Only if we could make bracil, argentina and maybe the US to european countries every 4 years it would be amazing! But till then we still have chammpions league:)

Gear DOES matter in sports photography.

Hey many thanks, i'm currently doing a photography course and the assignment i'm working on is sports photography and this video was very useful to support the theory i've been reading. Thanks.

[bahamaboy100]

im surprised he didn't mention safety cables when using remotes high up

[apapics]

Nice Vid!

[GhostofRazors]

Those lens look like canons.

Amazing that you can get sharp images with 3200 ISO

[JackSmurthwaiteMedia]

@GhostofRazors they are canons =p =D

[Hynee]

Thanks Mark, I was looking forward to this one, I saw all those Twitpics from your producer. Great to get some access. The remote camera stuff was new to me too, he must have a lot of images to discard after every game!

[robhkycc]

How about an NHL photographer?

[Mosephus]

Wow, he must not sleep! He must be the definition of multitasking.

[filipeali]
