Hi!
Since there has been some discussion here of late about using Pentax
cameras for sports/action photography, I thought I would post
something in that realm. Taken last summer in the early evening.
Pentax *istD, Sigma 100-300/4 EX, Monopod
ISO 1600, 1/350 sec @ f/5.6, manual focus

Great shot... Though I don't know the rules of the game :-(.
Anyway, so Bruce, essentially you used all of the older techniques -
relatively slow (in burst) camera and even manual focus...
That's even greater!
