Sounds like an interesting game, altho to give the ref so much stick when two blokes have gone for punching and two for foul and abusive language seems harsh! What are the fixtures left now for the season in the play-offs, can't seem to find them anywhere?
Bramley V Huddersfield Semi final.
Warrington into the final

I suspect we'll be fielding Skolars' reserve thirteen next season with you as coach.
What Skolars have a reserve team?. Oh yes the ones that have blob games this year.

If you want to know more about Skolars / Quins / everything Lonoon RL, BBC Radio London do an excellent weekly programme which is available for download every Thursday morning. Last week's is here http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/lrl
Great show, there is also a very good piece at about 35 mins in.

Vicarage Road Watford has also hosted a WC game.
There was the third match against NZ played at Vicarage Road, Gt Britain V NZ in November 1998, my son played in a curtian raiser to the game.

My eyes are completely knackered but hopefully after the 16th/July/2008 I will be able to get some better photos as I

They're very good buskers so they're probably lying furriners.
Well, to take the accordion player ...
This is original - all I've done here is re-save the original RAW file as a jpeg.
And here it's just been converted to grayscale. If I used the camera's B/W function this is what it would look like. It's okay here but you're right in that it can just be washed out - plus if all you do is desaturate or convert to BW this is what happens. Plus having the image as black and white/desaturated limits what you can in terms of filters.
So. The gingerjon way - which is probably not the best way but it delivers the results I like is:
Open the RAW image in Photoshop Elements. Sort out any under/over exposure and white balance. Boost the clarity. Open image in the editing window.
With the image still in colour adjust first levels and the brightness & contrast. At this stage it will look somewhat unnatural in colour as I'm looking to build up contrasts (although without going crazy) - so the levels will probably move the midtones slightly and possibly drift in the under and over exposure bit. On the contrast I will probably move it within the range of +1 to +6 and move the brightness either + or - up to 4 or 5.
So that's three layers after which I flatten the image to get back to 1. Then I apply the Gradient Map which is the best tool for converting to monochrome. It's best to experiment with this - I like using the orange/red end of the filter and having it almost black but not quite.
Again flatten the image. Now go to enhance image and apply the Unsharp Mask. I tend to use: 60%, radius 1.0 pixels with 0.0 threshold - don't ask me what all that means I got there by experimenting!
Finally apply any colour filters as required which will help with the overall toning of the image. This is something that can't be done if the shot has been converted to BW or was shot in monochrome mode.
Flatten image. Save.
And that's that. Probably clear as mud.
Mods: Can we merge the two photo threads we have going please?
Double geek.
I thought this thread was about ordinary people taking ordinary photo's , not a masterclass from BBC 2.

any new clubs joining championship 1 next year?

Thats assuming they use the same players they have now, I'm sure if any club were to enter they would recruit players to suit that level. Unlike some already in it who are content to just have the kudos. IMO
