That rather depends on the experience level of the athlete. At the top of the heap (international competitions, etc.) you're never going to get someone not moving at the top of the bounce except for the initial startup (and at the end). Once the routine starts they're almost constantly twisting, somersaulting, &c.during each move. About the only time that stops is in between moves when they're in contact with the trampoline, and even then there is usually some arm movement. I think this is going to be quite a difficult assignment; the difference in size between the athlete and the equipment makes it tricky to set up a shot with both clearly shown. There's also a problem when shooting just the participant; You're likely to end up with the roof structure as background, and that's often an untidy jumble (although with any luck it will be sufficiently out of focus to be overly distracting). -- 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.
