My son's class has a fieldtrip to Seaworld the 21st of November. I will be tagging along. Anyone have any good tips for shooting at these kind of parks?

Keep you camera away from slashing water.

I would think that a CP filter would be a good thing to have to reduce undesirable reflections in water and glass.

Just stay out of the splash zone areas and you will be fine.....if not then you will get this..

Shoot in shutter priority and set to at least 1/500th. And shoot during the day shows. AVOID THE SPLASH ZONE !!!! Its salt water. I saw so many international visitors sitting in the splash zone with HD video cams, and DSLRs. It was like watching Magnum PI crash the Ferrari all over again. :)

This one was 1/750th (to stop the action) at F11 (so everything was in focus), ISO 400 (to get the higher shutter speed).
