Yesterday, I volunteered at my daughter's school to take photos of the 3rd graders at field day. For the uninitiated, Field Day is a day of fun & games at the end of the school year. Back when I was a kid, events included the three-legged race, maybe a game of kickball, and popsicles for all. These days, you need an army of parents to organize a plethora of outdoor activities, water games, a DJ, bouncy houses, a BBQ, *a professional Simon Says guy*, t-shirts, and of course, photographers. But, I digress...
I took the k-7, and the 50-135. It was a cloudy day with off & on showers. (Hooray for weatherproofing!) The goal was to capture each kid in action... I started out by pre-focusing on a spot & waiting for a kid to arrive... by the end of the day, I worked up to pre-selecting a focus point, and using AF-C to track & shoot. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The only images that didn't work this way were due to user error (mis-placing the focus point, or poorly framed), or closed eyes... Nothing ground-breaking here, but a few of the keepers: https://picasaweb.google.com/crapmgt/FieldDay?authkey=Gv1sRgCK7Pieil5LLR5wE# :) -c -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
