Canon S500. Today's and yesterday's photos were taken Friday afternoon. It was such a nice day that I slithered out of work after lunch and took a bike ride.

Soccer night, last Thursday. My daughter's (#7) team had a game, so I brought my Minolta XG-1 with a 35-135 zoom, a polarizing filter and a roll of Fujichrome Provia 400. My crude attempts at sports photography are shown here. What did I learn? The 400 ASA film is good for action shots. I should have taken off the filter because everything's a little darker than I'd like it to be. Oh well, live & learn. Everyone had fun, it was a nice night & her team won a friendly game with none of the 'sports parents from hell' we've all heard so much about. Except maybe that guy that was taking all those photos!
