Nice job. I particularily like that you mostly isolated the individuals.

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:
