Football Outing.

A healthy group of photographers had eagerly gathered in front of the main entrance of the “Mighty Gawler Central Football Club”, awaiting late comers (me). When we were ready, we staggered towards the gates loaded with enthusiasm and gear. The attendant on the gate let us all through at no charge, probably intimidated by all our equipment.



After carefully finding a spot on the fence, we started showing off our tripods and cameras and just as we were ready to take the first shots the “Bloke” out of the red Commodore told us off for standing in his way so we packed up and moved along the boundary holding our tail firmly in between our legs.



We didn't let it discourage us, in fact pushing on further (some watching our back) we settled against the fence closer to the midfield, with a better light angle. Some eventually chose to scatter around the ground, others stuck together. Regardless we all found ourselves in the end, just before leaving.

It was an excellent learning opportunity and another great excuse to be with friends taking photos. I really enjoyed pushing myself and my equipment in an action packed environment. I really hope that all that attended had as much fun as I did and thank you for those involved for making my family and my international guests feel welcome.



Stefano, the Italian chap, still hasn’t figured out what he saw......

Thanks to Michael Tapping for the photos.

See you out there next time.
