I want to take photographs at some of our local matches. What are good settings to try out with the camera. Im just starting to learn about the various settings etc and trying to experiment at the minute with a panasonic fz20.

Some great tips there and some excellent photos in your gallery. In the third picture of the Leinster Leicester match, did you have to do anything special to get the rain caught like that as well?

Nope, nothing special to capture the rain. It was so heavy you couldn't miss it.

Great tips there.

Tip No. 5, capturing the face, is cringe inducing stuff :eek:
