Cheers Phil, glad you like it.
My first thought for a title was “Whispering Sweet Nothings “, but I changed my mind.

Beer is cheap at the Local so hop to it. Great moment.

[Ironwood]

Cheers Eaglem. I don’t know about those Wallaby’s, but I could do with a Coldie myself right now, having just finished the mowing

[Toddyh]

Great capture Brad. Nothing more to offer.

[Ironwood]

Thanks Todd.

Lovely photo Ironwood. Technically spot on. Maybe a caption "At least we've won more tests against those Poms!". True! 25-24 and 1 draw.

Cheers Isac. I have been thinking about going through the rest of the images I took at the time, and adding a caption or two, I think there are some possibilities there.
I had my Sigma 50-150 f2.8 on the Nikon for these, so I had to get pretty close. So much better being able to shoot wide open at f2.8 when the sun has gone down behind the hill. The IQ is so much better than the big Tamron as well.
Would love to have a longer f2.8 lens, not cheap though .

I think the Aussie team might have a few rough years ahead unfortunately.

Thanks Ironwood. I think the Aussies have lost the last 6 in a row. Maybe a teleconverter would be a cheaper way to go.

I’ve never had much luck with TC’s. Had a 2x Nikon years ago, and have a Kenko 1.4 now which I never use. I don’t like the loss of IQ that I get when using them.

[Isac]

Thanks Ironwood, you'll have to save up for the f2.8 lens. Maybe even a used one.

excellent shot to start with and topped off with a great caption

Cheers Alan.
