Using a Canon 5d Mark II set up remotely inside a customized Pelican case, McClatchy-Tribune Photographer Chuck Kennedy captured a never-before-seen angle of the presidential inauguration, NPPA’s News Photographer Magazine reports.
Kennedy started making his case for the set-up immediately after election day, arguing that with an entire medley of microphones and speakers already there, the camera wouldn’t be much of a distraction.
Check out his photo and the article here.
Pretty bloody interesting. I’d love to know all the logistics required just to get the camera in position and the trouble shooting required to tether it to the ethernet etc. Lost of people doing amazing things with the new technologies.
