I am a beginner photographer. Going on vacation want to be able to capture good candid pictures of the kids and family (10 people). What would be the best telephoto lens? I have a macro lens and that's all. I don't think that will capture a good normal pic. Any suggestions? I have a canon EOS Rebel


Answer
Your macro should also function as a "normal" lens, but you don't mention its size.

As far as the zoom lens, my favorite is the 70-200 f/2.8L (a monopod can come in handy though, with this lens on my camera everything weighs in around 6 pounds).

One piece of advice....BEWARE OF THE SAND!!!! Sand and cameras do not make good friends. When dealing with that situation, I keep my equipment in a waterproof hard case (for the good seal), along with a "rocket" blower and other cleaning material. I also try to keep the camera at least 3' above the sand (call me paranoid).

What are some fun crazy things to put on a beach scavenger hunt list?

I want some things that are going to be fun and entertaining to do on the beach. I'm 16 by the way. There are also going to be kids there, so they have to be appropriate.


Answer
Buy some regular sacks of skittles (like 5) and bury them partly in the sand, with one of the corners sticking out of the sand.
(you can put sticky notes on the skittles bags and write down a clue. of that's what kind of scavenger hunt it is. )
You can also secretly get a kid to join in a secret thing with you, and you can bury most of him in the sand, but he can burst out of the sand- next to the first given item.
You can make up a sound que like a cough and whistle.
It scares the piss out of the victim and makes it more Fun.
try burying cheap pool toys/beach toys (still in the packaging-but bring scissors so they can use them after!) in the sand with another corner out, like the skittles.

Here are some more things to put in the sand/in places-

Beach ball
squirt gun ( fill it up for instant crossfires)
lollipops (individual packaged)
5 dollar bill wrapped around it self. ( remember to map them, you don't want to leave those there! D: )
gag peanut butter/candy jar( with the worms that shoot out )
5 dollar sandals.
a paper card with a coupon on it. (one free hug from any scavenger/ one hint/ activity choice/etc. )
cheap waterproof disposable cameras.(for whoever is out of state, or just loves to snippity snap funny things)
GRAND PRIZE OPTIONS :DDD
20 dollar bill wrapped around itself/in a fake chest
Sack of candy
A set of foam footballs/ whiffleball set/ bachii ball set / other game set for everyone.
