Note ... all photos taken with a SONY DSC-F717 Camera (5 MegaPixel) ... No Flash ... Settings for above photos: (1) Shutter Speed mode ... (2) 1/125 to 1/200 shutter speed (most at 1/160) with maximum auto aperture at 3x to 5x Optical Zoom (F2.3 to F2.4) ... (3) ISO 400 or ISO 200 or ISO 800 (most at ISO 400) ... (4) 2560x1920 pixel image (Fine image resolution creating a 2.3 MB jpg file)  ...  The low lighting conditions in Bristol Field House are poor (but much better than Manley Fieldhouse) for taking action digital photographs and require substantial post-processing since the photos come out dark and somewhat grainy (digital noise) ... Post-processing of images accomplished with Adobe Photo-Shop Elements 2.0 and, if required, Neat Image (the best value program available for removing digital noise) ... Photos are optimized for web display only (reduced in size, cropped, and JPG compressed) ... these web -photos are low resolution versions of the actual images.
