Another weekend of sports

So - another weekend gone-by and more sports photographed.

On a Friday it was the second of the England - India field hockey test series at Birmingham University. At the end of a mainly sunny day - the rains once again seemed to find their way to University by the starting time of 6.30pm.

This gave me no chance to experience this sport at the 'ideal' photographic conditions, luckily though the rain was nowhere as hard as it was two days earlier and the focusing was slightly easier.
Seeing how the winter is shaping up - I do hope that I can plenty of chances to photograph the University's women's team during the 2009-10 season..

There is around 60 images in the www.xit-images.com gallery, as well as at the more popular http://googabuphotos.zenfolio.com/p14140766 gallery. I hope you'll enjoy some of the images over at the Galleries.
Funnily enough I did receive positive comments for my field hockey images while photographing on Sunday.

Sunday - which was the second pre-season match for the Birmingham City Ladies - and another convincing victory for the Blues. The contest was not as physical as the previous game against West Ham United. But there was still plenty of entertainment for the crowd to see.

Photos from the Sunday's football match can be once again viewed at the www.xit-images.com and http://googabuphotos.zenfolio.com/p256834872
Only 50 images from that game posted to the galleries - due to quite a few similar looking images. And for press' sake I always keep few of the 'better' images in private - incase someone wants to come and buy 'exclusive' images in the future.

Next week will be slightly more quiet for me - with only Tuesday's kit-launch of Worcester City and the Conference season opener on Saturday in the calendar (for now). But - will keep eyes open for any other possibilities of photography during the week. Then again - no sports photography will mean that I might get more time to do some other type of photography instead.
