Amersham & Chiltern at home to Broadmoor Staff ... driving rain, wind & gloom ... no lights anywhere. ISO 800 and at any shutter speed all I got back was grain and gloom ...

Anyway, here are a couple of underexposed 'sportraits' that came out of it ...

The rest of the rather poor set (8 other pics) is here. I really need some faster glass!
 
I quite like the second one. If you just brightened it a little bit, it would turn out into a very nice image. May I run it through PhotoShop?
 
Broadmoor staff!, I'm glad it's not the inmates, that would be a dodgy game!. Wayne
 
I like number 2 very gritty. Just goes to show that even without fast glass you can still get some interesting and different shots.:clap:

More suited to the conditions though. You don't have to be mad to play amateur rugby union in the mud and driving rain but it helps (etc etc)

Many thanks. I need *something* f/2.8 for the next time though. The days aren't getting any lighter!
 
True, I shot Rugby for the first time this weekend and have slow glass as well, by the 70th minute I gave up, it was just to dark
