Sports Shooter Academy IX participant Elaine Villaflores’ image of a collegiate soccer goalie won “best action remote shot” of the workshop made with a PocketWizard product.  SSA IX faculty selected the photo from dozens of submissions by workshop participants made throughout the week.

Elaine will receive a pair of PocketWizard Plus III transceivers for her winning image.

Using the PocketWizard Plus III’s system on a camera mounted directly behind the goal, Elaine was able to capture this goal scoring moment without any obstruction.

The Sports Shooter Academy would like to thank tech/marketing rep, Ian Ray and PocketWizard for their amazing on-site contributions of  knowledge, remote equipment and most importantly support throughout the 4-day workshop.  We had a record number of remote units in field with faculty expertise at each and every location that helped make SSA IX THE coolest sport photography and remote workshop of the year!

Using the PocketWizard Flex system’s high shutter speed sync feature, Mat was able to shoot at 1/4000 to freeze the player in mid air while still able to light him.
