Damn! I've always wanted to try out shooting rally, especially
the WRC, and it'd be a hell of a lot easier if it was in Sydney
rather than transcontinental Perth. :-)

At least photography on-topic, a picture of a USAmerican spectator
at a Touch Footy tournament last year in Sydney, and pertinent
to recent discussions on the fanaticism of players:

(he played the next day - the USAmericans entered Rugby teams,
as they didn't have Touch Footy teams).

...and actually, I guess, almost OM-topic, can anyone give me
tips on how to follow-focus with a manual-focus lens (the photos
from the Tournament were all C*n*n AF)? I've been interested in
getting a 300+ prime for my OM, but am unsure how I'd go focussing
something like football (300 is sometimes not quite long enough for
football, but going longer with the C*n*n I don't think is
economically feasible for me).

Cheers
Marc
Sydney, Oz
