    Muddy Rugby

    I shot these pics almost a month ago and have been meaning to post them. It was a blast to shoot and although I was not as muddy as the players I was pretty dirty myself. The last picture is a sub that came in with only minutes left in the match. Enjoy and let me know what you guys/girls think.

    LOL, now that looks like fun I am glad though I wasn't shooting it....I'd probably end up just as muddy.

    Wonderful glimpse of a game I'm not at all familiar with. Very nice job capturing the action. Love #1 and #3.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Of course, rugby is a national sport here in South Africa but I prefer cricket any day over rugby. Less testosterone and much cleaner!

    Re: Muddy Rugby

    I've only shot rugby a few times, but have to say it's such a great sport to shoot!

    You captured lots of great action and the mud is a super element.

    The last photo is funny to see the comparision - contrast.
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    Re: Muddy Rugby

    You must have had a blast shooting this. I love rainy and muddy conditions, they make great action.

    I've shot some rugby, but would love to get out there in the mud capturing the action.

    Very nice.

    Rugby Equipment

    Hi,
    If you are a Rugby player, it is important for you to protect your body from harsh impacts caused by another player and even by the ball. You can know more information from www.morrant.com.
