A co-worker of my wife has asked if I'd be prepared to get some photographs of her husband - a pole vaulter - in action.
It looks to me as though either the 50-135 or 80-200 would be a reasonable lens to use, assuming I can get close enough to the pit, and a shutter speed of 1/1000 or faster should freeze the action. I'm prepared to give it a try, but if anyone has any relevant experience I'd appreciate any tips. I'm planning to take both bodies (*ist-D and K10D) with the 80-200 on the *ist-D, and the 50-135 on the K10D, plus the AF540 flash in high-speed sync mode (if I'm allowed to use it) for fill flash, if needed. I'll also have the 16-50 with me for any wider shots. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
