I thought they were halos around the beardy guys hands until I figured out it was your sig.

Leinster Rugby aren't quite Gods yet!

Although they may think otherwise!

Nice shots, I would say they were tyring conditions in the RDS last night.

Drico is going to bite that tongue off one of these days, Meant to say to you before was in the home dressing room at the RDS before the FAI cup final, were any of the Leinster Rugby shots on the wall yours?

Very nice set,love the look on O'Driscols face(spelt wrong i think)
They all seem a tad flat though,maybe a slight touch up of the contrast?
I know its hard with the lights though

Yeah, there should be one of mine on the wall - this one.

Great pics. Always love the photos when you can see the sod coming up.

The weather couldn't have been as bad as the Dublin vs Wicklow game today. I got soaked!!

I was tempted to attend today, but the weather convinced me to stay home - warm and dry.

Hope you got good shots at least.

I take my hat off to you for attending this game!

Great shots there,would agree with Ricky though,they'd look better with a tiny bit more contrast.

By the way,whatever happened to Overdraft? You'd miss his presence in these threads!

I wouldn't dare suggest to bring his name up. Might cause problems

Paul,

quick note - photos are nice. You might want to update the watermark though - the copyright date is 2008 on it.

I like the top one most of all.

Inibaz, please. I've had at least 10 minutes of peace today. I'd like it to go on.

I'm living in the past. I don't want to admit that it's another year.

Watermark now updated for future images.

Great shots. Like them all. Just wonder how O'Driscoll manages to keep his tongue intact.:p Dont think I would risk that in close encounters with a few Munster forwards:D I often think Rugby is great to "watch" in wet conditions. Great athletes.

It may be great to watch (from the shelter of the stands or your front room), but it's certainly not great to be out at the pitch side in those conditions. :mad:

I think the worst wet weather I've had to face was the Ireland V Canada game this year, in Thomond Park. Picts on my website (can't post here due to restrictions). Now, that was a WET night.

I actually think the cold is worse, for photography. Cold fingers make it so hard to concentrate and take picts.
