Ever try to shoot video of a dog rocketing through an obstacle course? Welcome to my world today as I covered the AKC-sanctioned dog agility trials at the local fairgrounds.
There was another videographer there, I presume shooting the trials for the dog club that was sponsoring the event. He had this huge contraption - I wish I had thought to get a shot of it - that looked like a ladder without rungs on top of a large rotating base about the size of a garbage can. It extended a good 15 feet in the air. And on top of it was a teeny Canon tape videocam. I found that hilarious for some reason, but he's probably the one laughing all the way to the bank. Animal lovers have deep pockets.
But I digress.
