I shoot Film : Police Evidence Gatherers

The last image to share with you from the roll of 35mm CineStill BwXX film.

These are Police Evidence Gatherers at the UniBol football stadium, the home of Bolton Wanderers FC.

What's a Police Evidence Gatherer I hear you ask. Well here's an explanation...

"Evidence Gathering Team (EGT) Officers are deployed to spontaneous or pre-planned public order/public safety events as a resource to enable an effective policing response and act, where needed, in a mutual aid capacity"

These officers were keeping an eye on supporters of both Bolton Wanderers and Sheffield Wednesday, earlier this season.

You don't always see them at all matches, but this was a high profile match with a large away support from Sheffield.

My vintage Pentax ME and 50mm f1.7 did a half decent job

So cool to shoot with film and the quality is outstanding. I love this candid shot it is very journalistic in nature especially with the story.

[Mags]

Terrific black and white capture! Very informative too.

[LManning (Laura)]

This is a great journalistic shot. I’ve enjoyed your film adventures!

[Maggiemae]

What an exciting job they might have! I suppose 'gatherer' says what it means but it is rather an old fashioned word!

[Kathy Burzynski]

such an interesting photo journalistic image

Great capture. Here in Edmonton City Police are dispatched to every professional sporting event

Great photojournalism shot. I'm wondering if our friend is there. Sheffield Wednesday fans!

[Issi Bannerman]

Interesting. Never heard of an PEG! Nice capture though. Glad they're not Information Gatherers! ;-)

NIce shot.We live about 20 mins away in Worsley should have met up.To us the stadium is still the Reebok

[Dione Giorgio]

A great street shot, Phil. Just a look at those officers would make one shy away from trouble. Looks like the match was well attended. Are Sheffield Wednesday in the same division as Bolton. I remember both teams from their best days.

[Casablanca]

Interesting docu-shot

[Peter Dulis]

I wonder if they are the ones that have the body camera recorders?
