Day 353, Year 4 - SPOTY Show Day

A shot taken from the back of the Genting (NEC Arena in Birmingham during the live transmission of Sports Personality of the Year 2016.

I wasn't operating a camera on this job just looking after the gear hence why I was able to take this shot.


3 good things:

1 - Being in the VIP room with all the SPOTY 2016 nominees and HRH Prince William before the show
2 - Successful transmission of the show
3 - Smooth derig of all the camera gear after the show followed by a few free drinks afterwards

I didn't realise it was such a big event.
Don't think I've watched since Mansell won. ;)

You do get about Steve! Your job is exciting at times like this! Great programme by the way, we enjoyed it & thought the right man won!

[Scott Houston]

Wowzers -- huge. Interesting to see where a working photographer gets to -- very cool.

[Delwyn Barnett]

That sounds like a great event - a great photo of the arena and the masses people :-)

[Nicole Campbell]

Great light and that place must have been buzzing
