Solidified here. The lighting modifiers and such are not the sexy / fun content like the lenses. I was at the camera store recently buying a couple strip boxes and grids and was just like ugh. But the guy working was like well, this stuff really does make a difference. I did have to agree.

Pretty neat seeing the behind the scenes logistics. Thank you

What fun to see your perspective and prep for Truck Day!! Whew, that’s A LOT of photo gear! Can’t wait to see your spring training videos and photos. Thank you, Billie!

The Behind the Scenes videos are awesome
@markkempton4579
I'm so happy to see someone found a use for those ugly DJI bags with the zipper on the flap! 🤣
@wesleydickson6886
Just found your channel, but I was born and raised in Fort Myers. Used to go to Red Sox spring training games all the time
@tedk2814
Its gotta be super exciting heading to spring training! I have been following your channel, very informative videos. My name is Ted from Sebastian, Florida, I"m a sport photographer ( all Nikon ) with Florida Sport Photography. High School baseball has finalized rosters and ready for next weeks first game, weather is Fantastic!! There is a Boston Red Sox player who is helping with coaching duties. His name is Lane Milligan, a catcher for minor league. Super nice guy and the players really like him. We are so fortunate as we have three other trainers with MLB experience plus the main coaches. Best of luck this season, I'll be watching.....and shooting.

Very interesting to see a behind the scenes look. Sports in Europe is nowhere near as big as in the US, most teams don't even have staff photographers. Lots of envy :-) Keep up the good work on the videos!
@markguerin6071
Thank you so much for the behind the scenes visit to professional sports!

Hello Billie, As a great Toronto Blue Jays fan from The Netherlands, I do really enjoy your channel with all these great videos about sports! I'm glad you're not the NYY photographer because I wouldn't be a fan of the channel .....Not a fan of NYY at all. I love baseball and it's a popular sport in The Netherlands but without a big-league like in the USA, where it's soccer that rules the sports world here in The Netherlands. I'm an amateur photographer and started with sports photography about 11 years ago for a site that highlights amateur soccer in and around my hometown. This also includes the pro soccer club from Deventer the Go Ahead Eagles........ In all the years that I'm doing this I started to buy the great lenses you show in this video, I owned the Nikon 400mm f/2.8 VR II for a couple of years just for the soccer matches that Go Ahead Eagles play and also started using this lens for birding. So after many years of shooting with the 400mm I decide to sell it and get a Nikon 600mm f/4.0 VR II just for birding which I also love doing. It was a difficult decision I had to make but I found a great secondhand 600mm for a good price so the decision was made. At the soccer games, I do miss the 400mm but instead, I use my 300mm f/2.8 VRII handheld and this magnificent lens also gives me great action shots. I also own the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII and the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 VR with three bodies, Nikon D4, D4s, and the D5. I'm selling my D4 to get a Nikon D850 for birding and portraits I also love taking. The lens on my wish list is probably a Nikon 12-24 f/2.8. I have one request and I'm not sure if you've made a video where you discuss the settings of your Nikon D5 during the Red Sox games, (fast action moments). I have my settings and it could be that you've different settings that I haven't heard or read about so it would be great if you could make a video about the D5 settings for sports. I would be thankful and I reckon many more sports photographers starting out would be too........... If this video already exists my apologies because haven't watched all videos yet. Keep up the work! Pim Nauta, Deventer , The Netherlands.
@yoshinorinakata5263
how do you feel about nikon new mirrorless camera in sportsgraphy? your videos include all I really want to know, so I really enjoy them.
@billjohnson3323
Great vid as always. I'm always looking for better ways to store and move camera and lighting equipment. Could to provide some brands, models, and stats on your larger gear cases? Thanks
@rblast1
Lot of Lens envy!
@Alicia-bt6kc
Nikon D5 it's over for u, prefer mirrorless?😱
@seanmaheux
My question for you is do you personally own all gear or is it provided for you? I know it's not always the same if you're a photographer who's working for someone else full time compared to if you're a photographer that's working on their own.
@mattwoodyyy_3597
The RF 35mm 1.4 whenever they release it! If you need a back up photographer, I would gladly help lol.
@LizzieRoehrs
When it comes to camera equipment (bodies, lenses, etc.), do you own the equipment you use at games or does the team own it? Or is it a bit of both?
