Here's a pic I took today. I'm sure it will be of interest to less than two people here but it's very unusual in that I've taken hundreds & hundreds of cricket pictures in the last 4 years and this is the only time I've got a pic of a batsman plum LBW. In fact it's one of my best "wicket" pictures but it was pure luck. I've never got a shot of the stumps being scattered by the ball. You need a 7 frames/sec motor drive for that and even then you have to take every single ball bowled.  [cotitsalv] PS I'm not going to explain the LBW law to anyone so don't ask  |

Andy D - that's going down the lefties leg side, I reckon he would have got away with it. Trained_Pianist, I'm in the same area of California next month, so I'll be taking lots of pictures then - if allowed, I'll take some shots of Esa Pekka Salonen's last Hollywood Bowl concert on September 11th where he's doing Mahler 8, and I also have a few days on the Big Island of Hawaii where I hope to get some good shots of Kīlauea - the most active Volcano on the planet. Fly out on September 5th. |

Thanks martle. Although Harborne calls itself a "village", it's really just another suburb of Brum. The sunny weather in my pic disappeared later, it became very dark and grey and the game was finally stopped by rain. That makes a pleasant change  |

I went for a walk on the Downs yesterday, for the first time in the evening (and, as it turned out, the night). cotitsalv. From Mount Caburn, the only hill to be separated from the main ridge. Sorry about the change in contrast, it's a patch-up of two pictures.  And the obligatory sunset shot.  |

Baz, looks as if that's hitting him outside off stump as he plays a shot. I would not have given that (well...not from long off I wouldn't!) In future do try and get yourself a little straighter! ) Had I been in a good mood I just might have given the other one! Great pics! Whenever I have tried snapping cricket shots it turns out that everbody was playing in a different county. |

Ted, the LBW shot's mine not Baz's  And isn't it the classic "hide your bat behind your pad and pretend you're playing a shot"? |

Very sorry Andy  Oh if only every batsman were to be correctly judged LBW when hiding his bat we would all get home so much sooner! On the other hand as most umpires have a strange desire to arrive home in one piece... |

A few Pictures taken with my old Konica 500 in April 2004 ( R.I.P Konica 500!!) A lizard of some sort in Topanga State Park - Los Angeles  Southwest Los Angeles looking from Topanga Park, on the left you can see Century City (the built up area).  The chilling site of 10 Rillington Place, London where John Reginald Christie chopped up some women in the 1940's and 50's. 10 Rillington Place does not exist as a street name now, the victorian houses on the street were knocked down in the 70's; by 1977 the street had been renamed Bartle Road, as it now exists on the A-Z. The new houses built as can be seen in my pictures are typical 70's fair, but a deliberate gap was left where 10 Rillington Place used to stand, and here it is:   The Garden:  |
