    Yep, definitely looking good on these. I'm actually surprised you didn't get more motion blur at 1/160. I'd be tempted to push the ISO another stop for at least 1/320, but these are nice!

    I'd have to agree with dhyravy. These look real good and sharp for being shot at 1/160. With the 40D you could have pushed the ISO up to get a faster shutter, but then again looking at these, your shutter wasn't an issue. Nice job.

    Re: Parks and Rec game

    Well the only reason I didn't was this gym is really bright....the games are during the daylight hours...and the gym has skylight windows all around at the top of the bleachers on one side.....so great lighting in there....if I bump up more they seem washed out, and I have to adjust the exposure in PE.

    Thank you guys...I appreciate the "Great Jobs"....makes you feel like you are actually getting somewhere this expensive hobby...LOL
