light and grass

This has come out a bit dark - I'd like to up the contrast and do work but it looks awful when I do it in photoshop so this is how the negative is. I'd rather spend that time in the darkroom getting it the way i wanted. I loved the way the low sun was lighting the grass. Off to get ready for the New Years Day mens ba - a traditional street football game which is played here between 2 teams, the only rule is the Uppies must touch the ba against a certain piece of wall or the doonies must get the ba in the basin. It can go on for hours and after that they can fight to see who wins, always a seasoned player - it's decided between the teams. there can be hundreds playing and it can move very quickly.

Here's a short clip of a documentary that is due to be released soon, it's one of the best I've seen.
