Going to the match, contre jour style 2 : Possibly the longest contre jour shadows ever !!

It's been a bad week for photography. I always struggle on winter midweek photos...dark driving to work, dark coming home from work. Oh and driving home from work has been awful all week, the M1 has been gridlocked every night by east midlands airport, making the commute home 2 hours !!!


My Friday shot is a Saturday shot, a shot from almost the same position as the one from 2 weeks ago

The match today at the Reebok. A 2-1 defeat to Ipswich Town. Similar to the last home match, failure to be clinical in front of goal has lost us home points.
Great light and shadows

Wonderful long shadows ............poor you must be ghastly getting home after work, that sounds wrong!! you know what Imean!! You'll have to contrive some inside shots, I remember Peter did a series of kitchen utensils from odd angles, how about some low key? Football doesn't sound good either!!

Love those long shadows Phil & a great catch of the road texture. The shadows look sad I think after your loss & then you have a long drive home too.
I wouldn't bother with photos during the week when you are at work, you have finished your year so just do it for enjoyment in the winter.

@happypat thanks Pat, , my fave bit is the road texture too :) , when ru off to NZ....if you can stretch your budget to a 50mm f1.8 lens it will take amazing portrait / people pics of your family... £99 from jessops..

Wonderful perspective, Phil. I agree, I think this is the longest shadow I've seen!

Love the long shadows Phil & the texture in the image! Especially like the shiloutte in the middle with the sun flare removing his head!
