haha wow not what i was expecting!

 

just picked up a 7D a few weeks ago, I love it... thanks for the link.

 

ugh, I'd love to be shooting at the Olympics right now...

I would be truly overwhelmed trying to shoot for the games, let alone have all the equipment to shoot the games.

 

Honestly, once you get into the flow of the event its not that hard. The pain in the ass part is fighting for best spot to shoot from.

 

Agreed.

youd have to be really careful and scope out the events well before they actually happen and then also make sure you know where the light is going to be.

id gladly shoot the Olympics

 

as far as lighting go, its a dream to shoot at a Professional level facility. The lighting is great (as it is usually lit for TV coverage).

I've always thought about shooting for Getty Images, AP, and the US Presswire.

 

Your right, didnt even think about that..


Those would probably be the top three companies to shoot for. I couldnt even image the competition.

Ive always thought about shooting for some pay

 

I've started making contacts with some of the local PJs, so I might have a PJ career hopefully

 

Thats good. Once you get some some experiance the bigger companies will take notice.

Good luck

 

Thanks

I'm hoping to be the Photoeditor with the School's paper next semester. If I am, I'll be the one covering the RNC.

I've done a major GOP debate, covered multiple Sports games, as well as school related events.

 

That'll be good thing to do to help boost your career. RNC?

 

Republican National Convention

 

Oh well duh... Lol

 

I'm not sure how I've gone this long without being sub'd to this thread but...

Sub'd!

 

Posted in the other thread but I'll post in here as it might be seen here as well.

Anyone have experience with this lens?

Tokina 400mm f/5.6 AT-X SD AF

Me and AJ were talking, I can't justify looking at the Canon 400mm when I know I will only use it a handful of times a year. That Tokina can be had for around $400 versus the Canon at $1000+. Any suggestions or input on the lens above and below is a picture of what the lens looks like.

What would you use the 400mm for? and is 5.6 fast enough for the lighting available?

 

For sports when the 70-200 won't cut it. Mostly football and baseball. And the high school I shoot for has really good lighting so 5.6 would be fast enough for that specific field. I don't travel with the team too awful much.
