muck and rain...

Another day, another soaking. Squelching through the mud to photograph a Schools Rugby medallion match. it was a late booking, and i was told not to bother if i didnt want to.....

I dont shoot a lot of sport these days, and  like any skill, you use it, or you lose it, so off i went. The weather was quite bright, if a little chilly, but as soon as i waded along the side of the pitch, on came the rain. :(

Shooting with a 300mm, its always a waiting game, as there's no point in taking pics of distant players, but i thought id play with some different crops today, and entertain myself while waiting for the action to come closer.  anyway heres a couple of snaps from the game, and the muck and the rain.  and black and white, just cuz i like it. :)
