Re: FIRST Photography: How do YOU cover it?

How prominent is your role as a photographer on your team? Pretty large, I'm one of 3 that take pictures, the other two being Doug and Kyle.

What do you use?
Canon FT QL 35MM Camera with normal lens and Telephoto zoom lens. I usually pack higher speed film, with at least 400, but going for 800 for larger and more prominent shots.

What subjects are you good at shooting? (Robots on field, Candids, group photos, etc.)
I mostly take pictures of the robots on the field and the guys in the pits/booths on field, and have taken only a few candids and groups.

What subjects do you prefer to shoot?
On field competitions and robots

When at competitions, where do you shoot from?
I try to get the best vantage point usually from the stand and get a telephoto lens which allows for more coverage of the field and less light disruptions

Anything you'd like tips with?
Probably focusing. That's about the hardest thing, but I've got it down to an almost exacting science.

*EDIT*: WILL YOU BE IN ATLANTA?
Heck yeah!
