Hi all, need your advice on this.
I'm going for a ride this weekend, and planning to take some good shoot. Would like to take some close-up and distance shoots. But no sure what is the ideal len (mm) for this trip. Can anyone advice?

My equipment:
Canon 300D, 18-55mm, 28-135mm, 105mm, 420Ex flash

Thanks in advanced.

you will need a 70-200.

if not..... use your 28-135 x 300D's FLM

Remember to waterproof your stuff

what's FLM? What's the cheap way to protect my camera against water?
Thanks.

FLM - Focal Length Multiplier
do a search in the forum for a more detailed explaination. Can use it to your advantage since you are using the 300D

Cheap way.. use ziplock bags and cut holes for your lens and eyepiece.

I worry 28-135mm is a bit too short for this. I would prefer to fill the person into the whole frame.

but 135 is equal to 210mm @ 300D
should be ok
