I ahve my waterproofs of course.. but somehow the water always manages to get through one way or another.....

hmm you might be right for this aft.. hadnt considred it.. always seems alien and wrong a brolly at football.. however if you ahve ever been to northampton fc in rain the official tog sits under a big brolly...honest :)
 
How about a fisherman's tent? There was a bloke sitting on Bude beach in the pouring rain in a little one-man tent when on holiday, but they might be a good idea if you have to be out in all weathers.

Interestingly enough, Dave Rawcliffe was using an umbrella last night at Bristol Rovers v Tranmere...I was not. Got a bit damp.

so basically you're spending your time photographing fit girls!
Some people would see that as a great way to make a living. Mind you, a few of them might end up in jail....

That pitch looks unplayable!!! It's brightened up here but it'll likely start raining as I go out for a run.
 
Someone somewhere mentioned Paramo, will have a look round and see whats what.
 
I took a load of stuff for clients to the post office at lunchtime and got drenched!

That will teach me to walk! Blasted environment my backside! Where's me 4x4? :)

And yes that was a fetching line in doggy scented poo bags I was sporting as headwear. very fashion conscious I am ;)

You boys have my sympathies!
 
Kippax. That background looks pretty dark.

What settings were you at? If it was that dark then those girls are really popping out colour wise.

Do the players at the women's football swap shirts at the end?

Guess how many times I hear that.. or how many times its posted on here when i post womens footy... go on? :)
 
They did a sketch on Not The Nine O'Clock News many years ago where the fans were almost asleep at the game. Then the ref blows the final whistle - hey presto fans wake up and the women swap shirts.

You're not related to the cricketing Kipax family are you?

I played against a kid using a Kipax bat (round about 1982) and that was up your way.

Sorry guys I think I should have myself a bit clearer.

Do you guys buy a certain type or brand that they find better than others.

TIA
 
Did a shoot today of Mike Catt doing some rugby training with school kids and managed to get the one hour without rain in the whole day, lucky indeed :cool:

Got my lottery ticket for tonight while my luck seems to be in :lol:
 
Good luck in the lottery - 1Ds Mk IV perhaps if you win?
