Default Re: R U a Cowboy Action Shooter?

Steve,

Thanks for the feedback. Staged shots always seem to look that way and you don't get the gunsmoke or fire. I've never been at a range where there was a downrange vantage point to use a long lens. The remote camera has some possibilities. At Guns of August there was a guy making a video for the club. He had the camera on a long aluminum pole (similar to a monopod) and a monitor with controls at the bottom of the pole. He would then take the video from the side of the firing line. Of course in some cases the props were obscuring the guns sticking out of windows and doors but the high vantage point allowed him to get the shooter in frame without being covered by the spotters.
