Football in the Sun

[tigerimages]

High up at altitude in Forest Green as Gloucester City win their third game on the bounce, this time 2-1 against Clevedon Town.

In the second half the sun came out and so did the 1.4x TC giving me some nice naturally lit images.

Here are some of the best :)

Crowd shot - "When Harry met Sally!"

Thanks for viewing, C&C appreciated, especially advice on shooting into the sun with the goalcam!

Haha brilliant comments. Good pictures too!

[tigerimages]

Thanks, it's always nice when people respond after the amount of time and effort that goes into putting them there!

[Baz777]

Really good set of shots :thumbs:

Looks like the plyers on the field out numbered the crowd though

Yeah well, thats non-league football for you. Too many football fans spend their saturday afternoons in Tesco's or in front of Soccer Saturday on Sky TV and never go to watch a match be it the team they supposedly support or their local team.

It also doesn't help us that our home ground was destroyed in the summer floods and we have a 30 mile round trip for our home games so it's hard getting the support to the ground.

This would've been the end of many teams...

Great set. Very crisp and clear. Clevedon are my local team, still losing I see.

The keeper is quite poor, this is what he looked like the other week.

I've never rated Danny Greaves yet he's been first choice at a number of clubs around the Bristol area. Funny old game isn't it!

At least Cirencester's an easier journey next season, if not particularly shorter. :thumbs: I really like the goalcam shots btw - different perspective from 'the norm'.

Boys Get A Room and Kung Fu Fighting for the win :)
