Re: FIRST Photography: How do YOU cover it?
How prominent is your role as a photographer on your team?
I'm an animator, but since I don't do that at the competition, I can take film and/or video.
What do you use?
Canon Powershot A80
Canon Optura 60 (video)
What subjects are you good at shooting? (Robots on field, Candids, group photos, etc.)
I'll shoot anything (thank goodness I can shoot 100s of pics).
What subjects do you prefer to shoot?
I love to shoot action pictures, catching a ball in midair is hard though.
When at competitions, where do you shoot from?
Sometimes there is a "Team Viewing Area" right next to the field. It's nearly impossible from the stands, Powershot A80 cameras don't have great zoom, even with a zoom lens.
Anything you'd like tips with?
There is no solution to a camera with only 3x zoom (6x with a zoom lens).
WILL YOU BE IN ATLANTA?
Yes, but not on Thursday.
If I get another camera, it needs variable aperatures/exposure, better than 6x zoom. Pretty hard to find in a decent, but not overly expensive camera.
