What's going right -
Thanks, CTL and Jumpseater.
Just back from across the water.
I now recognise the main issue which appears to be the ASA setting not dropping the shutter speed for the conditions in "Sports" mode.
As you say, the saw-tooth edges are definitely not on the original so perhaps the photobucket fix will sort the problem. I will try to re-load them again soon.
Given the distance I was away from the action, it seems that the SIGMA 200 did not perform too badly but I am now looking forward to my next trip with interest.
Funnily enough I had a look at some of my other stuff from two years ago and it was better although I certainly did not adjust the ASA.
Ahh, the light dawns, (no pun intended) it was a dull grey day with snow on the Welsh mountains and occasional bright periods which is why they came out better.
I will put them up in a separate Gallery if you have a comment.
I also think I will look at better quality monitors to get over the poor definition. Do you have any preferences of LCD over CRT or Plasma.
