Earlier, I posted some pictures of my daughter riding and running in a duathalon (see:
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/post-your-photos/63535-disappointment.html); I was disappointed in the poor focus that I managed to achieve.
Early this morning, I took pictures of my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter in Fourth of July races here in Lake Jackson, and - while not perfect - the results were more satisfying. I used my DA 70 and set my K20D to ISO 800 and a shutter speed of 1/750s, which allowed lens openings of f/8-11. I used continuous focus and continuous shooting mode (High), and most of the images were acceptably in focus. Below are three examples. It'll be interesting to see what the new K-7 will "bring to the party" for this kind of shooting. The AF system apparently has been souped up, but whether the changes are meaningful in real-world shooting is still not clear - at least not to me.
