Might be a bit before i can try it. No outdoor shows for a while. I;ll need to find some horses running around outside in a paddock or a kids out door hockey game, if it ever stops raining here.
Sighhhhhhhh. Another crappy winter for B&W film. I ususually use AF-S for my action work, using the shutter button in a machingun sort of way. I find its easier to get the shot.Sometimes AF-C with dressage works well though. However i am interested on how this K10 will work out. It may make a really good camera to have on site with a good prime for grabing those presentation shots.
