Some shots from the first derby game I've ever seen. It's epic! Also if anyone has any tips on how to get the noise to chill out on the K-5 at ISO3200/6400 that'd be great. Tried exposing to the right but there's only so far you can push the shutter speed in such low light before derby girls just turn into colourful blurs.
K-5 autofocus worked better than I expected it to, but it was pretty awful with the 50/1.4 which also suffered from that dreaded halation thing again as I forgot the hood.
The photos are here (excuse the shoddy quality, Facebook has worked it's lovely magic):
