The COVID-19 pandemic changed a lot about the national sports scene, and the 2021 NCAA Tournament -- AKA March Madness -- was no exception. According to the NCAA basketball's official photographer Jamie Schwaberow, the experience was filled with firsts both on and off the court.
The two "Final Four" basketball games of the 2015 men's NCAA basketball tournament were held yesterday. One of the photographers sitting on the sideline was 82-year-old Rich Clarkson, a man who has been photographing the tournament for 60 straight years. The video above is a 5-minute segment CBS recently aired that looks into Clarkson's life and work as he "hangs up his camera" after this year's tournament.
Many spectacular sports photos are captured by cameras that are being triggered from a ways away, as this allows for angles that would otherwise be dangerous -- for both the photographer and the athletes -- or outright impossible to capture. But have you ever wondered how these remote cameras are set up?
Well, if you have (or even if you haven't and are now intrigued) then professional sports photographer Brett Wilhelm has some answers for you in the form of a BTS/tutorial video that was shot on-location at the 2014 NCAA Final Four.
