Jeanfield Swifts v Dyce

Action from the first half (I had to head of to shoot two other matches) of Swift's Junior Scottish Cup tie against Dyce at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday. The game ended in a 2-2 draw with swift's now having to travel to Dyce for the replay.

John Anderson who scored Swift's first and took his tally for the season so far to 18 goals.

Basketball

With the winter weather putting paid to most football on Saturday I took the opportunity to take in some basketball at Perth Academy. Perth Phoenix mens met Robert Gordon University in the last 16 of of the Chairman's Cup. I managed to catch a little ove rthe last two quarters and it was good to shoot some BB again. Here are some of the images. These were shot with a combination of a 70-200 and 18-50, 1/400 and f2.8, ISO 3200

Winter is here

Jack Frost has arrived which in sports terms means less games as they fall victim to the winter. With only one game to shoot on Saturday I found myself shooting some potential features for the papers. They weren't used so lets hope football resumes next week and I get back to what I am good at!

Saturday's images

Here are some of the images shot yesterday. Considering I had 2 hours to shoot images at four different venues I was pleased with the results. These are images from the two Junior matches I shot. (The others were an Amateur game and a team photo).

Back to norm

After all the wedding posts I feel I shoot put up images of what you would expect to see on this blog. Here are somefrom the last two weeks.

Getting a chance to shoot this on someone's wedding day - cool!

When I sat down with Lindsay and Bruce before their wedding it became apparent Bruce was a big golf fan. I mentioned taking some golf related pictures on his wedding day. He was really up for the idea and he and some other members of the wedding braved freezing tempertures walked onto the pitch dark golf course and allowed me to try out a few images for 5 minutes. These were the best of the bunch, not perfect but we certainly had fun trying.

Shot with two bare Vivitars laid on the ground in front of them. F4.5 , 1/60th, ISO800 for both.

Wedding - Lindsay and Bruce

So as mentioned in the last post, I shot my first wedding for over 10 years on Saturday. Assisted by Jenny, I had a great time and Lindsay and Bruce were a joy to work with. We got lucky with the weather despite the face it was freezing ther was great light to use. I used a couple of remote speedlight/umbrella set up to mainly use as fill. These are some of the images I am currently working through.
