Rockstars. Presidents. NFL. BIG Event Photographer David Bergman
Sports & music photographer and GigaPan pioneer demos post-processing and discusses his supercool gigs.
The question on everyone's mind must be: what hasn't David Bergman done? With 11 covers for Sports Illustrated, including the coveted 2010 Super Bowl, and his distinction as official tour photographer for Bon Jovi, David gets a lot of game.
He joins us live in the TWiT studio to discuss his now-famous GigaPan shot of Obama's inauguration and shows viewers how he processes 600 frames of a GigaPan shot in a live software demo. Also, the music geek shares inside secrets on being a successful music tour photographer, and you won't want to miss the moment he shocks Leo and Catherine with his gigantic, $10G+ bazooka 600mm F4 Nikon lens.
