Winners - shooting champagne celebrations!

[ClaireJ]

I never realised how tricky it is shooting celebrating players who are spraying champagne everywhere. Getting the players in focus and the champagne doing it's stuff is actually quite hard.

Northampton Saints are crowned National Division 1 champions

A couple of weeks earlier the team celebrate winning the EDF National Trophy at Twickenham (home of English rugby)...

I think these came out great. Certainly a challenge if for no other reason that you dont get a chance to shoot it very often. Gives me a good excuse to shake up bottles at home for practice. :)

I really love the first one, one bottle open and spraying, two guys trying to get their bottles open, and the trophy front and center in the group.
