A few more pictures from a rainy rugby match (Settimo vs Borgo Poncarale)
Keeping the camera dry on such a rainy day was just not possible, so I am glad the camera did not die on me. And a brighter lens would have been in order: the Sigma 50-500mm offers a range few lenses can match, but it is not the right lens if you have to work in overcast weather. And talking about this... if anybody has a Nikkor 80-200mm/2.8 to sell, let me know. Despite the above mentioned limitations,...

In rugby, your age doesn't matter
Despite watching rugby since the early Eighties, I have never seen a live rugby match before this, in October 2010. Rugby was not the most common sport in my neighbourhood in Italy, and even in the years I spent in the UK I have never seen people playing rugby. So all the rugby players I have ever seen were in their 20s or 30s. I am glad to see that there are exceptions, and that age, sometimes, does not matter:...

My first Oval Ball Weekend: VII Rugby Torino vs San Mauro
The first time I watched a Six Nations match on tv was around 1982, and back then that rugby competition was still known as the Five Nations. The first time I watched an NFL match on TV was in the early 1980s, and the Oakland Raiders were playing with Jim Plunkett as quarterback. American football has been one of the enduring passion of my life, and rugby is a sport I appreciate a lot. And up to the past weekend I had never seen a live rugby match or a live American football match,...
A nutria (Coypu) in Settimo
A nutria (Myocastor coypus), also known as coypu, in the Po River Park in Settimo Torinese, Italy. Yes, that was an unexpected encounter, in case you are wondering. Settimo is not exactly known as a town that pays attention to fauna: the town had a steel factory and a...
