You do realise, Bill and the others who posted in this thread that you're all missing the point completely? Unless you have 17 shots each side of the action, you just aren't cutting it! :-) The fact that you got the _one_ well-framed, in-focus, dead sharp shot at the peak of the action means you must have been lucky, because you're just playing at being photographers without a Canon or a Nikon!

Well, that's what the consensus would appear to be from recent discussions...

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

Let me add:

These are not my pictures. They were taken by a friend using an istDs and a 100-300mm zoom lens.
