Rochdale Town v Daisy Hill

This could be the last set of photos for a short while since I'm having eye surgery next week. Once the eye has healed though I look forward to getting out there for some more photography. Enjoy, and see you soon.

Rochdale Town v Daisy Hill

Cold and felt more like November than the end of August! Afternoon match though so plenty of light!

Rochdale Town v Daisy Hill 2009-10

The second days shooting. This was a five o'clock kick off so the light was fading by the end, and I'm pleased to say the camera seemed to handle the conditions very well.

Rochdale Town v Daisy Hill in Lancashire Cup 2009-10

This was a great game with Town playing composed and flowing football and very, very unlucky not to win. Unfortunately for me it was under floodlights, and this poses the usual problems of shutter speeds and grainy shots. Once again speed was in the region of 3200 asa and yet shutter speeds were as low as 1/30 in some spots with f stop wide open. This restricts you to certain spots you can stand in order to get enough light to shoot - and even then the speed of the ball means it usually record as a blur.
