The regimen of sports schedules that is, soon to be followed by school schedule. Soccer season officially opened for both kids, who both had tournaments this weekend. Ted and I split days with me taking Kate on Saturday and Ted taking Ben. We switched on Sunday. Kate’s team did very well, winning their bracket and making it to the semifinals. The team makes great progress every season and she is still having fun. Ben had his morning game cancelled on Saturday because of lingering effects from tropical storm Danny but they squeezed in two games today. The boys lost yesterday but went 1-1 today, winning their last game.
But the exciting news is that my 1D Mark II arrived on Friday and I put it through its paces this weekend. It took me a bit to figure out all the controls and the focusing mechanism but I think I got it mostly figured out by Sunday. The camera was rated as Excellent+, which was accurate. It’s in mint condition and from what I can tell had very few actuations. This should last me a long time! I bought it at KEH and I highly recommend them. Anyway, the proof of the camera’s performance is below. The pictures are of both Kate’s games from Saturday, and Ben’s first game today.
The one thing I can’t figure out is why the pictures look so much darker in the slideshow than they do in Photoshop. Another project for another day.
