  2. I'm no expert in the back catalogue of Pentax, but my lens says Pentax A zoom 1:4 70-200mm, to be honest I rarely use a long zoom so I have only bought other lenses and kept this one I got thrown in free with a 35mm slr from a Cash Converters, basically a UK nationwide chain of pawn shops.
  3. shutter speed was up to 1/3000 a lot of the time but you're right I simply can't afford a longer lens at the moment so a bit heavier cropping was necessary but hopefully I still managed to convey the excitement we all feel as fans.

     

    and I always think baseball is a bad version of rounders - a game played here by schoolgirls - which you guys say about 'soccer'

  4. today, it is currently 11.55pm UK time, I attended the 2nd test match between England and South Africa at

    Headingley Stadium, Leeds, England . I know that the majority of American users will not be completely familiar with

    the rules of the game but I think they are mostly decent action shots nonetheless, and perhaps the excitement

    shown will convince you to learn more about this sport played throughout the ex-British Empire and increasingly

    elsewhere. All shots taken with K100 and Pentax-A 70-200 lens:

     

    James Anderson of England bowls at approximately 85 mph:

    South African batsmen score a run:

    action=view¤t=run.jpg" target="_blank"><img

    Kevin Pietersen of England bowls a slower "offspin" delivery:

    <a href="http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/?action=view¤t=kp.jpg"

    Monty Panesar of England believes the batsman has been caught out and appeals to the umpire:

    <a href="http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/?

    action=view¤t=montyappeal.jpg" target="_blank"><img

    England's Ian Bell throws the ball to the wicket keeper:

    <a href="http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/?

    action=view¤t=bellthrows.jpg" target="_blank"><img

    src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/bellthrows.jpg" border="0"

    alt="Photobucket"></a>

     

    The same player takes a magnificent catch:

    <a href="http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/?

    action=view¤t=catch.jpg" target="_blank"><img

    src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/catch.jpg" border="0"

    alt="Photobucket"></a>

     

    Andrew Strauss, Tim Ambrose and Andrew Flintoff stare in disbelief as a ball they might have caught passes a

    fraction too high:

    <a href="http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/?

    action=view¤t=overslips.jpg" target="_blank"><img

    A South African batsman plays a fine stroke into the off side:

    <a href="http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/?

    action=view¤t=goodshot.jpg" target="_blank"><img

    A.B. De Villiers of South Africa scores 100 runs:

    <a href="http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/?

    action=view¤t=ab100.jpg" target="_blank"><img

    src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/ab100.jpg" border="0"

    England are sadly a long way behind and likely to lose or draw at best, but a game can last five days and this is

    only the 3rd:

    <a href="http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/?

    action=view¤t=scores.jpg" target="_blank"><img

    src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/scores.jpg" border="0"

    alt="Photobucket"></a>

     

    England captain Michael Vaughan leaves a ball from South Africa's N'tini:

    <a href="http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/?

    action=view¤t=ntini.jpg" target="_blank"><img

    src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/ntini.jpg" border="0"

    alt="Photobucket"></a>

     

    Dale Steyn of South Africa appeals for a 'leg before wicket' dismissal:

    <a href="http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/?

    action=view¤t=appeal.jpg" target="_blank"><img

    src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/appeal.jpg" border="0"

    alt="Photobucket"></a>

     

    and finally...umpire and players alike avoid the pitch invader:

    <a href="http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/?

    action=view¤t=invader.jpg" target="_blank"><img

    src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/knowlesy_01/Headingley%202008/invader.jpg" border="0"

  5. now I don't know what that is but I'm going to assume it's just the tax you pay at the till in America which is not listed in prices on the shelves - which is confusing when you visit and forget that is the case :S

     

    but if this is that, and 10% is bad, remember VAT in the UK is 17.5%, we have to pay NI tax for the NHS etc. and our petrol costs over a pound (nearly 2 dollars isn't it?) a litre, even though if there was no such thing as tax on fuel our petrol would be the cheapest in Europe.

  6. woke up early, couldn't get back to sleep so thought stuff it; picked up the

    camera (k100) with just the lens it had on (Sigman 28-70) and went for a walk

    to what is known locally as the "Pit-pond." Basically a big pond next to where

    Darfield Main Colliery once stood. Had a good time with nobody else about on

    the Sunday morning; I'm going to try and post a couple of the best from the

    hour or so.

     

    thanks for looking, Tom<div>00MgrY-38727084.thumb.jpg.237ab0fe4748123f7af277bb4552e76f.jpg</div>
