OK, This is not really Disney related, is there such a thing as not being Disney related?, but Tim said I should go ahead and post this question anyway.
I want to shoot my sons participation in a winter percussion competition. They are usually held in a high school gym under mercury vapor lights or sometimes just plain old tungsten lighting. (thankfully they are not held outside in Feb in Indiana!!!)
Any tips on getting some good shots. For some of these events I will be able to be on the "bench" while others will be from the public seating area but close to the floor. Would this be a good place for custom white balance? I assume I want a fairly fast shutter speed. One shot I had in mind was a pic of a line of snare drummers standing still but having their drum sticks blurred as they are playing.
Any tips would be great. I have a canon 75-300 mm f/4-5.6 III and a 28-70mm f2.8-4.0 on a canon 30D. I am also open to renting any lens that would be better suited, provided it would not break the bank. Although a three day rental is usually fairly well priced.
Any comments/tips appreciated.
Besides, anything I learn from this can always be applied to my trips to Disney, right?!?!?!?
