Some winter rugby union "sportraits" ...

Wish you'd been reffing the match I tried to watch this afternoon. Bloody freezing, driving rain, very dark skies & no cover (I was trying to take some photies!) -- I left midway through the second half because the referee was insisting on reffing it to the letter of the law.

And very good they both were too.

This evening I shall be mostly watching the Music Theatre Wales production of the new Michael Berkeley opera at the Linbury Theatre, Covent Garden. If I've time I'm off to the Annie Liebowitz exhibition at the NPG beforehand.

Isn't it just? A lot harder to get a straight sight on the ball carrier as well given that the defence doesn't retreat in the same way. My only attempt (although I hope to go back this weekend) is here. I am now pondering whether to pawn my granny for an f/2.8 lens. Mr E C Tiger, you were right on that one.

Just saw Tony Robinson filming an introduction to something on the Hungerford Bridge steps.

Just made my first photo sale. That's

Once again I am pleased to see Sevvy showing great understanding and bringing the travails of rugby union to the uninteresting, trivial thread.

There's only 1?

Tut tut, Browny.

Nah, this guy was making an effort and was quite near the front ... Whereas Shadow ...
