发帖数: 3634 | 1 Here is the camera gear I am bringing with me:
Cameras:
Three Canon 1DX cameras and a 5D Mark III.
Lenses:
Canon 100-400mm
Canon 70-200mm
Canon 24-105mm
Canon 24-70mm
Canon 16-35mm
Canon 8-15mm fish eye
Canon 1.4x teleconverter
And once I get to Sochi, I have a Canon 200-400mm lens waiting for me to use
during the Games. I used a prototype of this lens at the London Olympics
and it was AMAZING!
For shooting specific sports, here is what I am thinking about gear at this
point:
* I know that for hockey (shooting through plexiglass and no holes, since
the Olympics don't allow holes in the glass like the NHL), my best choices
will be one Canon 1DX camera with a Canon 70-200 2.8 lens and one 1DX with a
fisheye lens. I am planning on trying a lenskirt to help block the
reflections in the plexiglass. We will see how that works.
* For figure skating, speed skating and other indoor sports, I can probably
use the 70-200mm for a lot of the photography. If that is not long enough, I
can either use the 1.4x teleconverter on the 70-200 or bring the Canon 200-
400mm lens.
* For ski jumping and half-pipe (provided I get up to the mountain cluster),
I will need a longer lens. For these outdoor sports, where the athletes are
farther from us, I will definitely use the new Canon 200-400mm lens, with
the built in 1.4x teladapter..
* For bobsled, luge and other sports on this track, I would use a shorter
length lens, like a 24-70mm or even a 16-35mm, since we are allowed to walk
right up to the track.
* Tripods and flashes are not allowed in any Olympic venue, but I will bring
my Gitzo travel tripod for night shots around the grounds. I will also
bring a Canon 600 EX-RT flash for use during the team's private parties.
* I am bringing my Gitzo GM5561T monopod which is an absolute necessity at
the Olympics. There is almost no way to handhold one of the long Canon
lenses (300mm or greater) for 3 weeks straight, without breaking my back.
This is one of my favorite pieces of camera equipment for sports. This
monopod is really light weight and collapses to a tiny size. I LOVE this
monopod.
* You will also notice that I have some Pocketwizards in the bag. I use
these to fire a remote camera. I am hoping to mount a camera in the rafters
at the hockey arena to shoot images straight down on the goalie. These
Pocketwizards are a little different than your off-the-shelf units in that
they have a special tweak to the frequency. This custom wireless signature
was created and loaded by the good folks at Pocketwizard, making sure that I
am the only one firing my remote and that I am not interfering with any of
the other photographer's remotes. To mount the camera safely in the rafters,
I am bringing a Manfrotto Super Clamp and security cables.
I know I will be shooting 100,000 photos or more, so I need a lot of memory.
I will be bringing a whole bunch of 64GB and 128GB Lexar Professional 1000x
CF cards. My plan is to have two CF cards in every camera, and shoot to
both for redundancy. I will also be using Lexar Professional USB 3.0 readers
to download my photos. These things are wicked fast and help me make my
deadlines. They are pictured above in the Think Tank Pixel Pocket Rocket
case which is my favorite.

看来为了拍的到是最重要的。
其实该大师的镜头很一般，未必赶得上版上的某些人。 | M******e

我对lexar没什么好印象 | c**n

听说最近sandisk品控下降了，雷可杀很可靠啊
