June 19 Continued.......... Camera station

After reviewing our last capture which was opening night.  I had a chance to take a few photos of a camera station.  Here is Doug Hunt who has been at San Francisco Opera since 2006.  He's checking his presets and controls. Each of the four stations have a joy stick control, focus,  selectable switcher panel. camera monitor that is switchable and preset monitor.  Doug for this opera  is responsible for cameras one, three and nine and sometimes eight which is allocated to another operator some of the time.  Because there are more cameras than operators I have to sometimes have the operators hand off their designated cameras to the other operators.  Cameras 2, 5, 8 and 10 are designated to Brian and cameras 4, 7, 6 and 11 are Neils.  Camera 12 is a static shot on the Maestro.
