SCOTLAND v AUSTRALIA:SINCE SCOTLAND have not beaten Australia since 1982, they may be a bit surprised to find themselves within the same status brackets.

Despite the stadium lights, it was pretty dull as far as the camera was concerned and in the second half I had to up the ISO rating to 1,600-2,500 in order to get a shutter speed of around 1/1000 sec (at f2.8).

The River Tay by Newburgh North Fife November 18th. A dreich day, dull, murky, cold, wet of a kind that finds ageing joints without much feeling good factor.
