Since the restart of sport here I've tried to be a bit more experimental with my remote camera set-ups, trying to explore new angles but also trying to use them less as a gamble and more as an addition.
So I thought I would put together a little thread of remote camera images that have come off over the last couple of months. Some may look quite similar as they are from the same stadium or racecourse.
1.
1 August 2020; John Martin of Waterford scores his side's first goal during the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division match between Shelbourne and Waterford at Tolka Park in Dublin.
For this image, I have the camera mounted on a clamp that's on a barrier that surrounds the pitch. There was no real space behind the goal for a remote on the floor, so I thought I would try this angle, and it came off. The slightly higher angle can make for a messier picture, with heads being slightly lost in the stands and horizon, but I think you get away with it if the action happens this close in.

7 August 2020; Luke McNally of St Patrick's Athletic sees his header on goal saved by Finn Harps goalkeeper Mark McGinley during the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division match between St Patrick's Athletic and Finn Harps at Richmond Park in Dublin.
For this angle, I have the camera and a 70-200 lens on a clamp that's on the banister of a portacabin that over looks the pitch. The angle gives a great view, but frustrates me as you can't get it perfectly in line with the goal line, which really helps to clean up the image.

16 August 2020; Patrick McBrearty of Kilcar scores his side's second goal during the Donegal County Senior Football Championship Round 1 match between Kilcar and Glenswilly at Towney Park in Kilcar, Donegal.
One of the most scenic pitches I've ever been to! This was my second visit in a month to the Donegal pitch, but the time I was able to shoot the whole match, whereas last time I had to rush off to another match around the corner. As I had more time, I decided to put a remote, again on a clamp, on the perimeter fence, facing back towards the lovely Donegal landscape. I was actually up the other end the entire match as it provided the better backgrounds - to the left of this shot is sea, sky and green, and to the right is the car park and messy fences etc. I was surprised that this remote fired every time from a distance of roughly 140m.
