Nice SI Shot.

I know Sean takes shots like this. How do you guys set up your camera on a stand to take these low shots like this?

    You don't set the camera on a stand. For one thing, it's dangerous, especially when people go out of bounds, etc.

    Pro photog Mike Olivella has some really good tips and walks you through one of his games.

    The SI shot is a wide angle frame from a low camera angle that is timed correctly with the photographer in the right position and with a sun star area light.
