I shot a lot of high end basketball. Think about an 18 Year old Kyrie Irving. falling on a photographer and having a lens break into his face.
I shot for some larger college programs that required it. I would rig lights in some pretty decrepit old gyms. One time I had a light burn out (start smoking) up in the rafters. That would have been a problem.
This is the stuff that people don’t think about, but what makes the difference between a “Pro” and a “Guy with a camera.”
I was worth every penny to watch some of the best Athletes of our generation play.
Oh, so you’d be out on the basketball court shooting posed events (otherwise, falling on the photographer wouldn’t be possible).
