I know most of you don't care...
But with the B1G being at Lucas Oil with limited access and position it brings many challenges has a photographer.

I am one of the rare photographer that follow University of Michigan using remotes setup:
- You place the camera before the game, pre focused and you trigger the camera using a remote.

In the modern time, you usually use a wireless system. It has many advantage but also some inconvenient... However due to many restriction and the Lucas oil location... Well it makes it near impossible for me to use a wireless trigger.

And sometimes the good old tricks are the best:
People used to have wired connection and controlled them by hacking a Sewing machine Foot Pedal.

Modern camera have newer connection (Often proprietary)  ~ Making it impossible to use the old trick plain and simple.
However with a little bit of imagination, $15 and three minutes to connect three wire...

For real... It is working like a charm. https://t.co/c5C3ipubUr pic.twitter.com/QkEIXr3DMY
