I'd planned on one camera stuck to a tripod with the "studio" set-up,
and that's where it was gonna stay. I won't have to worry about people
knocking the set-up down, as it's right next to the main tables where
the Grand Master is sitting -- no horseplay around all those Masters
sitting
with him! <g> I think I'll use the OM-1 for that with either the 100 or
the 135
(depending on what kind of distance I can get - the strobes I'm renting
can do 1000W/sec, so I'll only need the T-20 to fire them.
The PJ stuff is gonna be more tricky for me, only because the 75-150 is
a new tool (thanks again tOM S.) on one hand, but I did -some- shooting
with 2 bodies last year and the year before (sans flash) so got the same
kind of results that Terry and Tracy did...BUT I was hitting the shutter
at
the right time, and was getting decent composition, just couldn't stop
the
action (and had to keep out of the "real" photographer's way - he was
using
the type of same rig I'll have) I was competing at the time too, so at
least
I'll have breathing room.
BTW, no time for trials...this event is on the 27th, and between work and
playing soccer mom for the kids, I'll have just enough time to gather all
the
gear together (along with the extra batteries, tape, and order sheets)
Stress? Not as much as when I was going for my belt!
Thanks again to all who wrote.
