Hi Christine: Your focusing technique worked really well here. Also
impressive are the excellent facial expressions in many of these action
shots. The parents and the school should be very happy with your pictures
here. While the shots below are a few of my favorites, the gallery shows
solid work from beginning to end. Looks like the kids had a blast! Cheers,
Christine

Subject: GESO: Field Day, or... how I made friends with AF-C
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:
