"This is probably too late. If you had asked a week ago, you would have had time to organize.
Olympus and Canon, and perhaps other brands as well, make waterproof cameras that can withstand swimming in the water park.

Saturday morning there will be a Lunar Eclipse and I was wondering if anyone could give me some good tips on what settings would work best. I will be using a Nikon 70-200 2.8 lens on a tripod.

SRT30D replied to Alex Vega's discussion PLEASE HELP< Water Park, yes or no?"I think you answered your own question with, "...I know I'd get some incredible shots..." Cameras are like dogs: always need a baby sitter, but that's just the nature of the beast. There are times when there's no…"
Simon Osbaldeston replied to Alex Vega's discussion PLEASE HELP< Water Park, yes or no?"Tough decision. If it were me I know I'd enjoy the day even less if I'd not brought the camera as all I'd see all day are photo opportunities going by. But that's just me.
Assuming your camera is not weather sealed / insured…"

I am going to a water park tomorrow (Hurricane Harbor) I love taking pics of my kids but I am worried that I won't be able to enjoy myself if I take my camera. Also I am worried that I can possibly damage it, after all it is a Water Park. I know I would get some incredible shots with my 70-200 2.8 lens but again the weight and constantly having to baby sit it makes me not want to take it. Please let me know what you would do?See More
Alex Vega replied to Alex Vega's discussion I need help, it is an emergency!"Lol,I could only imagine what thousands of dollars worth of equipment might have looked like with the top of a box attatched, pretty smart tho! Ok thanks guys, for some reason I don't like buying stuff online, I just wanna walk in to a store…"
CameraClicker replied to Alex Vega's discussion I need help, it is an emergency!"Lens hoods have a couple of uses, preventing flair as Gary said, preventing stray light even if it would not cause flair, which improves contrast, and it protects the front element from finger prints and minor bumps. All of the lenses I am using…"
Gary Vernon replied to Alex Vega's discussion I need help, it is an emergency!"The purpose of the lens hood is to prevent flair, you should have received one in box with your 70-200mmVR if not they are easily found on Ebay..

Alex Vega replied to Alex Vega's discussion I need help, it is an emergency!"Thanks for the tips Camera Clicker, I was wondering if I should buy a lens hood? Does it make any difference or is it just for looks? I noticed you have one on your lens,,,,,,"
CameraClicker replied to Alex Vega's discussion I need help, it is an emergency!"Ugh, Facebook. Definitely not my favourite place.
Congratulations on winning the game!
Both photos have your son nice and sharp. The look well exposed. I think I would crop both vertically. 4864 with your son in the centre, 4899 with your son to…"

sujith kumar replied to Alex Vega's discussion I need help, it is an emergency!"Dear Alex,
I expected u to post more pictures from this shoot, and was eager to see them,
but u have posted only 2,
please upload more so we can have a better perspective of both the game and ur photography!"
Alex Vega replied to Alex Vega's discussion I need help, it is an emergency!"We won the game 5 to 1 wooohooooo, the pictures came out just ok. Sun was facing us so there were a lot of shadows and my son is new to soccer so there weren't many opprtunities for me to get some action shots. I guess I just need to practice…"
Alan Ang replied to Alex Vega's discussion I need help, it is an emergency!"Shooting soccer requires a fast speed camera. hence shoot at AE and f2.8 to get that action. you have a superb len so zoom in at the action. shooting at 9am will be better than night time."
CameraClicker replied to Alex Vega's discussion I need help, it is an emergency!"So which team won the game and how did the photos turn out?"
Matt Needham replied to Alex Vega's discussion I need help, it is an emergency!"Healthy green grass is usually a pretty good substitution for a gray card, so you may be able to use the field itself to meter off of. I would be inclined to start out with f/4 or f/5.6. F/2.8 is probably okay a longer distances with action…"
Alex Vega replied to Alex Vega's discussion I need help, it is an emergency!"Fred you are the man, that's what I'm talking about. Thanks!"
Profile Information
- About Me and My Photography Experience:
- New to the DSLR world and so far I love it! I haven't turned on my point & shoot since I got my DSLR. So far pictures take outdoors are coming out awesome but inside pics are not so great! Really need to know if I should get a Speedlight?
- My Photography Equipment:
- Nikon D-40 starter kit, just stepped up and bought a Nikkor 70-200 VR AF-s ED lens, thing is huge and heavy but makes pic awesome! I probably look retarded with that lens on a D-40 but my next Camers should do the lens justice!

Windows open a passage to the soul.
"The lighting and the colors are so exquisite and the child´s expression makes me curious, what he was thinking about in this moment. A wonderful portrait!
