On the line

A close-run finish. The lad in the green shirt won on the line.This was my first attempt at using the K7 as a sports camera. I still have a lot to learn here, my usual subjects are static. I have recorded this event for many years using an SFX and MZ cameras originally and an *1STDL2 more recently. The results this year were a great improvement. The autofocus was effortless and the camera survived the rain showers very well! I would like to experiment with shutter priority, this picture was using program mode and all settings were automatic. I used a battery grip for added power which was probably a good job because I took over 800 pictures, on continuous shooting mostly and panning a lot of shots to blur the background. There were several other photographers using various Canons but the K7 came out very well against their results.
