[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 159820, member: 13556"] What kind of lens will you be using? --- I can use my 80-200 f2.8 and utilize its autofocus. I can also use my 300 f4.5 manual focus and pre-focus on a particular spot. I hope you have a tripod! :) ---- Yes What time of day? --- First skier in the water at 8 AM and the tourney goes all day. Use a fast shutter speed (1/500th or higher,depending on speed of action), and since you'll be doing a lot of panning, try to keep it as smooth as possible. Aperture is up to you, but I would use between f/4 to f/8. --- I plan to use a remote trigger that I'll hold on to on the tripod head panning arm. I am hoping that I'll be able go at 1/2000 to 1/4000 all day. I want to keep my ISO as low as I can also. [/QUOTE]
