Here are a couple more from that game.  I was happy with my 
results.  All of these with the exception of perhaps the cheerleader 
would have been the first frame in the burst.  I don't tend to hold 
down the button, since I used to shoot film and have to pay for it 
and spend the time developing it.  Digital hasn't broken me of that habit 
yet.

This was 400mm, tried to get it with the face pointing my way.

This one was shot with the 135mm f2 lens.

I think all my DMR posting lately may have made people think I am a 
bit of a Leica snob, but Canon does have some decent cameras and lenses.
