I'm going to be photographing kids (and some adults) on a zip line next month and I need any tips you can provide. I've had trouble in the past photographing bikes and runners who are moving at roughly a 45 degree angle to my camera. In other words, if they are coming straight toward me or straight across my frame, they are ok, but the others are blurry.
I'd like to impart a sense of motion, so I may try some panning as they go by. The zip lines are several hundred feet long (one is 600',) over a ravine, and in the woods. Here's a basic idea of my equipment. A good Canon DSLR, an 18-55mm lens and a 70-300mm lens. I can provide more details upon request.
I welcome any suggestions you might have. There will be 60-70 kids so I'll have an opportunity to try different ideas. The pictures are primarily for the zip line operator, but if the pictures come out ok, I'll give them to the kids, also.
Thanks,
Mark
