>> Morning Luggers,
>> As many of you know we go to the Hong Kong Rugby 7's every year  
>> that we can get tickets.
>> Of the 40,000 available only 4000 tickets are available to the  
>> public. This year we were lucky.
>> Our son-in-law won a set of tickets in the internet lottery and so  
>> we were able to attend
>> on Friday and Saturday while he and my daughter had to work. Then  
>> on Sunday son-in-law
>> Ian and I attended while Esther and my daughter watched the games  
>> from a nearby beer garden.
>> I wanted to use a 300 mm telephoto with my D800E and before the  
>> tournament I went to my
>> usual used camera store in Tsim Sha Tsui and discovered it had been  
>> turned into a jewelry store!
>> A sign of the times! So I went to Mirama Camera in Stanley Street,  
>> Central and bought a new Nikkor 300 f4.0 ED IF AFS
>> and used it to take most of the pictures in the Rugby folder. It  
>> worked remarkably well and the
>> D800E processed its 36 Mps fast enough to keep up with my shooting  
>> style. A very satisfying three days;
>>
>> There are 17 pictures in the folder, including one 6 panel pano for  
>> Philippe.
