Hi All,
Well the seasons back clear.png,
I ain't been sat idle of course but my Pro Soccer etc cannot be published anywhere except through official National media outlets!.
This is a small selection of images shot on Fri Night. Appologies for the strange colour casts! (I tried to correct a little?), shot under horrible stadia lighting + those awful colour changing LED advertising boards clear.png. C&C as always welcome but in my defence I am a bit rusty clear.png. Kind regards Graham.

    Very well done here. One thing that I just am wondering about is the tint on the various photos...some look a little on the purple-ish side. Was that just an effect of the lighting in the stadium?

    Also, congrats on getting it published! Always fun to see

    Hi Hank,
    thank you for finding time to view & comment. The colour casts are awful due to the poor stadium lights & the new LED advertising hoardings :(, I think a few are a little too magenta due to my fiddling with the colour balance to correct the sickly green/yellow hue that they all showed :). Kind regards Graham
