tiago pereira: Pena Aventura Park

What to do when you have a Canon 40D, a Peleng 8mm fisheye lens and the opportunity to slide down a 1538 meter (0.96 miles) long cable?

You take the camera with you and shoot (almost) all the way down at nearly 5 fps. An then you make a time lapse video out of it.

It is an awesome ride. Available at Pena Aventura Park, Ribeira de Pena, Portugal

Gear used:

Canon 40D
Peleng 8mm Fisheye lens
Sandisk Extreme III 8Gb card – 30Mb/s – needed a fast card to store 5, 10Megapixel, frames per second
Sturdy Domke camera strap
My right hand
