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

Of course there’s a lot more fun stuff you can do at the park
