When Saturday Comes

Occasionally I get out of the po-dunk town that I currently reside. Occasionally.

But now that it's August, good times are afoot. There is weekly football. I went to catch a pre-season friendly (as they are slightly more affordable) and thought I would try catch a bit of the atmosphere of a football game. It kind of worked; it also kind of didn't. I was using a new lense that is rather long, and trying to take quick shots (something I haven't really tried to do) proved a little testing at times.

Anyway. As they sing on the terraces:
Oh When the Spurs...

I'm glad I got this shot. I love it. There were loads of flags in the stands, but getting this one was quite special. It's not completely clear, but give me a break it was blowing in the wind.

Lots of flags. The above photo has actually been flipped using The GIMP (PhotoShop software on Linux). Being behind the flags, and the way the wind was blowing meant that I couldn't get the logo the right way round all the time. You can see the Puma logos are backwards. I suppose I should cut them out. But I thought I'd be honest.

Like I said: lots of flags.

Still going with the singularity theme. I probably will forever.

I'm annoyed I cut the end of the sign off. But such is life.

People make football games interesting. I'm still shit at taking photos of them.

Obviously there is a sizeable police presence at football games. Friendlies are pretty timid affairs in all honesty.

Ok. Maybe this is a little better.

All quiet.

I've been a little busy. Slightly preoccupied. Back shortly.
