147 - Looking for a clear pass

Croydon Rangers 2 V Crusaders on yesterday - It was rainingheavily for most of the game and I found out three things:
1 - My camera and lense are waterproof.
2 - How to tie my monopod to my umbrella so I can keep myself and my equipment dry at the same time.
3 - Using 9 foucs points instead of 52, speeds up focussing and allows players to blur out in front and behind the player I am focused on.
