Thanks, Paul. It's funny that you use the word "intensity"... these
kids like to say that they "Focus on their focus & are intense about
their intensity." A little running humor, I guess. :) And speaking
of intense, I'll mention the kid wearing #5 is my son... lol.
It's also funny -- I had the camera set to jpeg from my class the day
before, and just forgot to switch it. When I realized what I had
done, I figured I had really messed up the wb, since the light in
there was so... whack. It wasn't catastrophic, though... and in the
end, it was a pretty quick edit of 250+ pics. We RAW shooters probably
too often forget the merits of shooting jpegs...

All very nice. You captured plenty of intensity and caught them at good
moments. I especially like the shots of runners with both feet off the
ground.
I find jpegs work fine for most subjects, although I rarely shoot that
way, since RAWs are actually easier to tweak in terms of balancing the
midrange, the whites, and the blacks when rendering finals.

So... as a follow-up to the other day's hockey pics, I thought I'd
share some I did the weekend before, at an indoor track meet.

Conditions weren't as chilly, but definitely dimmer, and with
faster-moving subjects. I kept the K-5 at 16,000 ISO most of the day.
Which is starting to push the limit, at least when you peep... I'll
also mention that I shot these as jpegs - unintentionally. (D'oh!) I
wonder how that might have limited these images...not that it matters
much to their fb audience...
But still, it does get one thinking about what difference ff would
make in this situation... especially with the uptick in recent chatter
on the subject!
