As above really, has anyone got any tips and hints???

Im doing this for the school, so not just taking pics of my boy..

I'm no expert, but if you're doing this for the school I'd consider bringing a friend. I did some for my son's sports day (for personal use not school use) and there was so much going on at once and so many different activities to cover, it was over in a flash.

I'd get the school to give you (several copies of) a letter or somesuch stating that you are there on behalf of the school

might just stop an over-protective parent thinking your'e up to no good

a hi-viz vest would make you look "official", too

A good shot is...

End of the track....70-200 on (on a 1.6 body anyway), so at 70mm you get the whole width of the end tape in.

You can get some good shots from this position.

Thx guys, Im doing this as a favour for the school so im going to give the images to them, and its not an event for the parents so that isnt a problem either.. its just a bit of fun for the kids..

I dont know how they are going to run the thing.. i guess im going to have to roam as best as i can.. as long as i get some images for them to use im not going to knock myself out over it.. although i do want to make a good impression..
