Cowboys draw for the 2010 NRL Season
Posted by Cameron in Just for Fun, Personal on March 17th, 2010
I LOVE Google Calendar and use it as my go-to calendar app on my computers and my iPhone. It is pretty much a perfectly developed calendar application and everything is in sync ALL THE TIME. Perfecto. I have a bunch of different calendars all syncing together and have just finished a North Queensland Cowboys 2010 NRL calendar. I shoot all the Cowboys games so having this calendar is imperative. The beauty with Google Calendars is that you can make them public and share with others. So without further ado…
Calendar links – [XML] – [iCal] – [HTML]
You will note the dates for some of the upcoming rounds aren’t set yet. This is because the NRL only schedule about six round in advance. As the NRL announces exact dates and times my calendar will be updated and if you subscribe to it then yours will be too! The calendar below will automatically update as I change mine. If you are a Google Calendar user you can just click the +Google Calendar at the bottom of the calendar below to subscribe.
Bulldogs too strong for the Cowboys at home
Posted by Cameron in Newspaper, Photography, Sport on August 15th, 2009
Last night saw the Bulldogs travel to Townsville to take on the normally tough-at-home Cowboys. I thought it was a pretty good match with the Bulldogs coming out on top 22-12.
The match was held up twice thanks to two MASSIVE head clashes between Jarrad Hickey and Carl Webb and then between Jamal Idris and Willie Tonga. I was only about three metres from the second head clash and I can’t understand how Willie Tonga even got up. Ok, he was very groggy as he was led from the field but believe me, head clashes don’t come any bigger than that. I would have been happy to be out of hospital in under a week! Hickey was taken from the field on a medi-cab but thankfully he was fine by the end of the game and should be right to play next week.
Here’s a short 30 second Channel 9 highlight package showing the head clashes.
Here’s a few pics from the game to whet your footy appetite. All pics with Canon EOS 1DMKiii and Canon EF 400 f2.8L IS USM / Canon EF 24-70 f2.8L

Panthers topple the Cowboys at home…

Shot the North Queensland Cowboys v Penrith Panthers NRL match last night. Quite dull really, maybe it has a bit to do with the recent controversy that is surrounding the NRL and some of the halfwit players involved in the game. I’m not sure if it is just me but I am pretty tired of that code. After dealing with the true gentlemen involved with V8 Supercar racing and the great guys with the North Queensland Fury it is difficult to come to terms with the kindergarten mentality of some of the rugby league players as well as more than a few club officials! Anyway, that is my rant for now 
Oh, if you are interested, the Cowboys lost 20-28…
Here’s a few snaps from the game, all shot on Canon EOS1DMkIII’s and 400 2.8L IS USM and 70-200 2.8L IS USM lenses.
Australia’s Miss Universe v NRL bonehead
Posted by Cameron in Just for Fun, Photography, Sport on June 22nd, 2009
Australia’s contestant in the 2009 Miss Universe competition Rachael Finch returned to her hometown over the weekend and put in an appearance at the Cowboys v Roosters game. At least that gave us snappers something pleasant to look at! Don’t stress Genesis Spirit cheersquad, you are up there too!
On a night where I was assigned to cover a team coached by a bonehead it was a welcome relief!

It’s Rabbit stew for the Cowboys!

Shot the NRL match between the North Queensland Cowboys and the Russell Crowe owned South Sydney Rabbitohs last night. What a spanking! The Cowboys ended up 46-12 winners with the backline showing that they are a real force to be reckoned with! Both centre/wing combos of Willie Tonga & Ty Williams and Ashley Graham & John Williams looked last night to be as good or better than most in the competition. All the Cowboys need now is Webb and Kaufusi to perform at 100% and we will have a virtually unbeatable team. Anyway, that’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it
Here’s a few of my pics from the game and some clippings.
