Mark0159 I say stupid things all the time More info | Jul 13, 2006 03:40 | #3754 yea well that's ture. it's funny I offen tell people about buying the ideal lens and how much it would cost. I could spend the same amount on a car and lose more money. However people can't imagine spending that much on a lens and yet they can spend that much if not more a car. Mark

joeseph "smells like turd" More info | Jul 13, 2006 04:11 | #3756 Due to popular demand, here's more detail on the canon batterypack I made to drive my portable hard drive:- some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

I've decided to shoot just the juniors (first 7 games) and the finals on Sunday, should be more than enough to wear me out. Will use my Efs 17-55 f/2.8 and hope for the best. Not sure if they allow flash but now have the 580ex so might try that as well. Steve

Will give a bit more reach.. I know from experience, 85-200mm works well... 85mm @ F2.8 Manual, ISO 800 / 1600, RAW 1/320th, and then increase exposure in processing New Zealand Photography Tours

Shot in iso 1600, 1/250, jpeg (still getting used to processing raw) also havn't got enough mem cards Ouch, well good luck and have fun.. Are you taking a printer also? New Zealand Photography Tours
