I took quite a few shots of the Hurricanes warming up on my iPhone.
The more astsute will notice the Blades, in blue, are wearing shirts with “Colchester Gladiators” thereon. Apparently, the Blades’ shirts weren’t ready in time for the start of the season so they borrowed some.
It’s the second time I have shot a game down at Berighton’s home ground.
Hertfordshire won, as they usually do during their regular season games.
Hertfordshire won the match, they usually win most if not all of their regular season games.
I took a few more shots on the iPhone than I normally do. They played in their away kit, which is white, much to my annoyance as their normal kit is purple, and it’s much easier to photograph in bright sun than white.
I’m quite lucky in that I get access to the players that lots of other photographers in the game don’t get, so I can go on the pitch while the team is warming up or practising and be right next to them in the huddle, or have them running right past me during warm-ups.
I sometimes take game shots on the iPhone, but due to the fact that the phone doesn’t have telephoto, (I never use the zoom function as, being a digital only zoom, it just degrades image quality) I have to be fairly close to the action to get anything reasonable on the phone. Mostly I am taking shots on the phone from behind the end zone during extra points or field goals.
The Hertfordshire Hurricanes visited Northampton University to take on the Nemesis. Unfortunately for Northampton Uni they weren’t set to be the
Hurricanes’ Nemesis; the Hurricanes ran out winners by their biggest ever winning margin, 95 – 0.
I shot the Hertfordshire Hurricanes in their victory over the Blades. All shots were taken on the iPhone 3S and were taken prior to the kick off.
