Thought id go along and get a few shots of my Uni's Rugby team playing against their rivals - the local poly uni.

I could have done with a longer lens but i got a few shots. Im a little dissapointed with the colour and a few other details although I havnt shot alot of sports before. What do you think?

They can be seen here:

Some nice pics Zeddy. Expressions on the players faces tell it all.

If you get a chance and are really keen on sports, I'd recommend the Sigma f2.8 70-200 lens. Absolutely brill. Allows you scope from nearly all over the pitch. Bit costly at £4-£500 but well worth it.
