John, I like it! Assume that was your daughter finishing in 86th place? That's quite an accomplishment! Just to be able to qualify for an event like this is something your daughter & family can be so proud of. And a memory for years to come.

I assume this was taken with you new Sony CX-700V? I really like the images. It does show up often, but it appears to have great dynamic range when the runners move from sunlight to shadow.

@amendegw Yes to both questions!

I have mixed feelings about my CX-700V. Don't have the space here to list the pros & cons.

Glad you liked the video.

John, I know how proud you are of Michelle. I'm producing a film about women who attempted to qualify for the Trials called "Miles & Trials". We interviewed Michelle with some of the other women who qualified at CIM the day before. She is sweet and humble... and fast! - Wendy

Whoops, I wish I could edit my posts. Meant to say, "It doesn't show up often, but..."
