Mossley v Wakefield ..

Two points lost - should have done better in the first half ... and got done in the 90th minute for an equaliser - aargh !  Some pictures at

Mossley 2 Wakefield 2

Even managed a quick lens change when Mossley got their penalty - left 70-200 lying around on the terraces (!!) while strapping on the 24-60 and dashing round to get behind the net ...




... and this kind of pic is a bit easier with the the 'Spot AF' focusing option on the EOS 7D - which enables you to really pinpoint your focusing through the goal net - in the past I've sometimes ended up with a very crisply focused goal net and everything else totally blurred !!  I remember "getting lucky" way back in my early days of DSLR at Salford City (September 2008 to be exact !!!) when I was crouched behind the net - Mike Fish making it 4-0 to Mossley ...


Always try to make sure I've got the 24-60 lens in my bag for certain cup-ties where there may well be penalty shoot-outs as well (although these days I can "get posh" and take two camera bodies if I feel the urge - saves the faffing about changing lenses etc !).

Been out for a work around Meltham Moor today - will have a look at pics sometime and load 'em up - - here's a quickie for now ... remember that "converging parallels/vanishing point" topic from a couple of weeks ago - here's another example (Springs Lane - an old causeway where you can see the grooves from the carts that used to move rock from the hillside quarries) ...




There is football tomorrow night as well  - Curzon Ashton continue their quest for the Evo-Stik 1 North title with a home game against Northwich Victoria ...
