I went to my first Cricket match yesterday in the Phoenix Park. I shot wide open at 1/2000 using auto ISO and overexposed by one stop, at 500mm. Thankfully, I had someone to explain the laws of Cricket to me as I know very little about it. I will have to return to try and …
Manchester United Legends Match
I went to a football match, with Offshoot Camera Club, between Manchester United Legends and a local club, Wayside Celtic Legends. I know nothing about football, so, I was looking forward to seeing what photos I could get. It was a glorious day for the good-sized crowd to watch a match. I believe that Wayside …

Irish Quidditch Cup
On an incredibly rainy Saturday in January, the Irish Quidditch Cup had to decamp from the waterlogged Trinity pitches to Fairview Park, where the Tournament started later than scheduled, however, we still managed to get through most of the day's schedule before being ejected by the Park Warden with one match to go. The great …

Touch Rugby Summer Draft
I had a great day taking photos at the Donnybrook Touch Rugby Clubs Summer Draft. Sometimes taking dynamic photos of Rugby can be tricky, as the players are moving quickly, you want to show the pace and excitement of the game. This is an area of photography that I want to improve upon and hopefully …
