Great question!. The remote was set in the same place, all day, at .1/2000 F5.6 ISO Auto. And actually it got moved a little, so I had 30 seconds to "fix" & refocus it (without someone standing in). I think my guessimate focus worked!
@HowLao Awesome photo! What were the settings in this particular photo?.

The T9, lowest price was back in Nov 2023, at a price of $249.99. So right now you are getting the deal at $265.99.(Not to mention the 10% back), yeah it's worth a look.

Prepping for the World Championships in Japan means having pins ready to gift & trade! . Fun fact; I designed this logo on a piece of paper back in 2015 when I was in Japan as a track & field camp counselor.

Perhaps one of the most insane races i've ever captured. The kick & determination by Laros over the last 100 meters, truly impressive.
PHOTO FINISH IN THE BOWERMAN MILE! 😱. Niels Laros takes it over Yared Nuguse at the line. 📺: NBC & Peacock | #Pre50

I’ve taken so many images of @Melissajanae21 this season, this is one of my favorite shots. Congrats on the win, see you at USAs & Tokyo!
We’re not allowed to photograph on the grey, so I placed a remote camera for this head on angle (while I was on the inside track for reactions). Canon 1dxmk2 with a 70-200 F2.8

Faith Kipyegon closed out the 50th PreClassic with a World Record in the 1500m. Absolutely living up to the hype as the best meet ever. Photos for @nikepreclassic x @TrackTownUSA . #PreClassic

In 2016 I photographed my first PreClassic - I was so nervous for this meet but I met this girl…. We just celebrated our 9 year anniversary a few days ago. This weekend we got to work on the same team for Pre x TrackTown, so we recreated the first time that we met.

Arrived at the 50th PreClassic!. According to the credential system though, I’m 124 years old. Damn I look good.

What's one expensive purchase you made that turned out to be totally worth it—and you'd buy it again without hesitation.

And with multiple sprinters ahead & Tyreek DNS in the finals.
Tyreek Hill runs 10.10 (+2.7) in his ATX Sprint Classic 100m prelim, finishing ahead of Josephus Lyles (10.25), Noah Lyles' brother.

Nike stock almost up 10%. Some say it’s due to the Q4 - I’m saying it’s because of Faith Kipyegon. #Breaking4

I photographed Cooper Flagg at the Nike Hoop Summit back in 2024. While I never got a chance to see him in college, I’m hoping I’ll see him at the NBA level next season - with a dunk like this.
