PHOTOGRAPHING RAMSEY RUGBY - MY WORLD

Statues

My world


I asked recently what you'd like to see on the blog. I was surprised to see so many ask for more of  the sport photography I am known for. So not motorbikes and the Isle of Man TT but the Rugby again for those  who just wish to be known as J, O, M, and B. Here you are. Ramsey are the ones in the blue shirts. J. by the way has turned this image of mine into a mousemat. In fact this image is also on a mug a set of coasters and greetings cards as far as I know. 


This wasn't a recent game, last season. Had to use an archive tonight due to a little editing of the images and selecting ones for the website. Hence the late post. Back to the Rugby. It's a game I photograph a lot as the pitch is between the park and the beach a place as you have noticed I photograph a lot. It's free to watch. Not many sport events you can say that about now can you? The Superbowl yesterday I think prompted the request for more Rugby images. Although on the surface they are very different games the basics for photographing the action shots are the same. Freezing the jumps was the most requested pose. "How you make them look like statutes." OK here are the jumping statues. I know one of those posing players well. He has been called many things, but never a statue.  For M, you are right it is unusual for a female like me to be good at sport photography, but if you want I'll give you pink flowers. For a price. I get bored photographing flowers. I need a challenge. I'll stick with 120mph motorbikes.


For other my worlds click here and thank the skywatch team for the idea.


Yes
maybe
could be
Snooooooooooooow!
I hope so. I am the only person not to photograph it this year.

U - IS FOR "UP AND UNDER" - RAMSEY RUGBY


Ramsey Rugby


U - is for Up and Under

No I haven't gone completely mad "Up and Under" is a Rugby Union term. The image above is not a demonstration of this but it is an uplifting ubiquitous upshot. It' also an image I have easy access to. Still waiting on a new laptop and my photo library still in a transitional state. We have them stored but having connection troubles. Back to an Up and Under.


An up and under is a term used in Rugby Union. No I'm not explaining it trust me. Google the term and you will find out what it's all about. 

Ramsey are the team in the blue shirts. The other team we shall just refer to as the opposition.
Another from what is turning into my "Rugby players as iconic images series." Only joking but they do bear uncanny likenesses to famous photos and statues. I'll let you work out which but click here and here to see the others.


Want to join ABC got the lovely hostess with the mostest, MRS NESBITT'S PLACE


For Uk readers- Eddie Waring - the only thing he ever said I understood was up and under.
