Hi guys

Yesterday was first time for me, to shoot some weird sport called rugby Match between Slovenia and Finland was some 7th quality class of European rugby (I guess it can't go much lower then that anyway). Gee what all you get to see when you are shooting for money.
Anyway... here's few photos from yesterday.

So what do you rugby experts, and everyone else of course, think about this?
And no matter what, it was still nicer to shoot guys throwing each other in mud, then shooting marathon for 3 hours in pouring rain, as I did today. At least yesterday, they were wet and dirty, but today, it was me who was wet and frozen.

Take care,
Primoz

They look good to me, not knowing jack about rugby. Maybe a little warm though.

For me, #1 & 4 were worth the trip. And the check always made up for the frozen feet.

Well for a start the players have the right amount of mud on them. The balls in the pictures, there in focus, the colour seems a bit off. But a good set first up.
