Rochdale Town v Wigan Robin Park

Last game of the season for Rochdale in the North West Counties League and an eventful one. Plan to be there next season and hopefully some pre-season training if I can arrange it.

Rochdale Town v Norton United

God it was cold - under floods so all the usual caveats about lights - only stopped to half time as I had to go elsewhere afterwards so restricted in number of shots available.

Rochdale Town v AFC Darwen

North West Counties League - and the first real full game use of the Sigma 70-200 2.8 for the whole game. Coupled with the D7000 it provides an awesome combination.

Rochdale Town v Eccleshall

First game in a while. I’ve recently undergone eye surgery so haven’t been out and about for a few weeks – but what a great change it’s made. I can actually see really clearly now – and having put off photography for a while there’s quite a bit stacking up so several entries soon. Nice to be back.

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 Holker Old Boys

North West Counties League and first game of the year. It was also the first attempt with my new lens - a Sigma 70-200 f 2.8. I thought I'd also really push the ISO since the D7000 is supposed to be really good in this kind of situation. Have to say I'm really pleased. The floodlights at this level are somewhat challenging, giving large dark areas across a pitch, but the camera and lens functioned better than I could possibly imagine. I was able to hanhold at 1/250 with a constant 2.8 which has resulted in many more shots than I can usually manage from a late match.

Rochdale Town v Ashton Town

First game for what seems like ages. Not only is it now dark at half time, but the mist started rolling in half way through the second half blocking out what ambient light there was available. Not too many shots today then, but at least there's some.

Rochdale Town v Irlam

North West Counties League, and a dull and heavily overcast day. Left here and went to the Feel Good festival - see below, meant a long days shooting - but an enjoyable one.

Rochdale Town v Nelson

First home game of the season for Rochdale Town. Evening match so light faded in second half but managed to shoot much later than in the past thanks to the D7000.
