Hello all -
I will be attending two Olympic events in a couple of weeks and need some
advice on
what parts of my setup to bring, and hopefully some tips on shooting outside in
cold
weather.
What I own: Bodies: OM-2S, OM1-MD w/ battery conversion; Lenses: 50/1.8; 24/2.8;
70-210/4.5-5.6. I also have a Winder 2, and a T20 flash.
I will be outside for one event, the Women's Super-G ski race, and inside for
one
event, Women's Hockey. I have only shot outside below 30 degrees (F) once,
which was
with the 2S and at night. I encountered some difficulties, which seemed to be
related
to two things: 1) the batteries croaked and 2) my aperture blades seemed to get
stuck.
Both of these conditions seemed to be resolved by keeping the camera inside my
jacket,
but I would like pictures of the skiers this time, and not the inside of my
jacket.
Any comments on what I should take, what film folks recommend, etc. would be
greatly
appreciated, both posted to the list and/or sent via email. I can use all the
help I
can get!
Thanks in advance,
Andrea
