  You're a clever dude. Great images. I also noticed that http://mogool.com 
gives one a little better and larger images on the 'net than www.flickr.com 
(unfortunately my choice). Take a look here:

  Thanks,

Week 24 was under the sign of the EURO2008 actually happening here and 
elsewhere. Went to Italy-Romania with my kids, last friday. The leaflet 
given with the tickets said clearly "No photographing allowed", but since 
the 2006 World Cup in Germany I knew they look for pro gear only, aka DSLR 
and long (tele) lenses. So I twisted the LCD of my R-D1s off, put a 21mm 
Skopar on, but at the entrance they grabbed the camera and wanted to know if 
the lens is exchangeable. I said no, which was the right answer. I had a 
hard time to imagine what would have happened if these guys confiscated my 
so easily disadjustable camera...

Anyway my intention was not to make sport photographs but more from the 
atmosphere around the game.

Didier
