Sylvester Seay (30) and Brandon Fields (0) during the NCAA Men’s Basketball regular season game between the Fresno State Bulldogs and the Nevada Wolf Pack at Lawlor Events Center in Reno, NV.
I went back to my “Hometown” of Reno, Nevada for some much needed R&R, so naturally I brought all my gear and photographed the Fresno State at Nevada game while I was in town. Special thanks to John Bryne and Fielding Cathart. Both of these guys are great photographers and even better friends always willing to help. I was able to set up 2 remotes: One on the backboard and one in the catwalk looking down on the same basket. I used one channel my pocket wizards to remotely fire both camera simultaneously.
