Like the pics, nice crisp and very interesting. What camera model do you have?

Camera is a Pentax, Optio 30 model, point and shoot. Same type as Matt now has going by the info below his pictures.
I use it to grap shots to put on here. My main camera is a Contax 35mm SLR that i shoot slide film with. It's fun trying to juggle both to get shots.
That's why some of the faster action shots are a little distant as I'll shoot them on the digital at full telephoto (3x) and then grab good shots with the 50mm lens on the Contax. If it's nice and sunny and I can use the 200mm telephoto on the Contax and then shoot the digital at wide angle.
