NBA photographer scales 150-foot stadium ceiling and manages 8 cameras every gameday

Three stills from @pelicansnba Instagram Reel showing photographer, Layne Murdoch Jr's, duties during gameday. Cycling through images on the rear LCD of Canon camera, setting up a remote camera high up in the stadium's catwalk, and players being photographed from the sideline during the game .

A Reel posted via @pelicansnba provides a knee-knocking and leg-wobbling insight into the NBA photographer’s packed schedule on gameday, including climbing up into the 150-foot ceiling of the Smoothie King Center to set up a remote camera with a 70-200mm zoom and 16 strobe lights.
