A good and well seen action shot for me. Your old Vivitar seems to be a bit heavy but useful on the K10D. Greetings Markus

Shooting conditions were not the best, I had a longer zoom than needed (didn't know my seats were so close to the rink), my fastest zoom is a beaten-up copy of the good'ol Vivitar S1 70-210/3.5 version 2 and I had to shoot through the protective glass (so you can see the scratches if you pay attention). An f/2.8 would've help, I shot wide open with a shutter speed of 1/180, I was expecting to get a 1/250 and I didn't want to push process later (I regret it know, but well, live and learn). So this is the one that I like the most: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=437250330&size=o Technicalities: Pentax K10D+Grip, ISO 1600 Vivitar S1 70-210/3.5 ver2 @70mm f/3.5 Raw, developed with CS2, some curves, web sharpening & slight cropping PS: BTW it was Marlies game (Toronto vs Hamilton). Toronto won WOOOO HOOO!!! :-) ============ I think that is a pretty darn good shot, actually. Sure one of the players is a bit blurred, but he is moving. The dark gallery of watchers behind and the white and action in front makes a nice contrast.
