So went up to watch my girlfriend do her swim (couldnt do the rest do to injuring her foot the week before), took far too many pictures but I had great fun practicing my motion shots on all the events.

Don't mind the dust on the lense, it was a dusty day and there was no way to avoid getting it in the camera or on the lenses when i switched

A little internet humour




On a side note i saw a HUGE number of pentax users floating around that day...it was a nice change from most of the sports events i go to.

I like the panning action. you caught those fast moving bikes well and you made the runner look very fast.

Thanks Scott,

I realized after that weekend I have finally outgrown the K100d....time to buy a new one

Nice shots. I think the runner is my favorite - cool that you saw many Pentax shooters - I have only manged to see a couple in the 'wild' nice series.

Ya i was blown away, normally I see maybe 1 0r 2....i saw at least 40 users floating around

The runners were the hardest to capture, after a 2km swim, a 95km bike and a 20km run, they were usually moving pretty slow

although I don't think i would have made it past the swim (first guy was out of the water in 22 minutes)

Nice job on all of the shots.
