There seems to be a problem with my previous posts and my pictures may not have been visible. Don't know why, but here's another try.
The last round in the U19 series for the Finnish Championship is next saturday. Our guys lead the series by one point and need to win the last match. Here are - hopefully - some shots from the previous matches (K-5 and Tamron 70-200 f2.8).
I've probably never been as cold at a football pitch before (and I've been there at -20°C). Pouring rain and a gale force wind during the whole match made it nearly impossible to shoot but somehow I managed. I was soaking wet during the match and the 4 hours in the bus after.
The guy in the picture is actually from Manchester City Academy and was on trial for our elite team. We met him in the morning before the trip, drove 4 hours with the bus to the match, after which he pretty much dominated the midfield and helped us win the match. A true player and a nice guy. However, that was the only game he played in Finland.
Another shot from the same match. It was really raining. And did I mention that it was also cold?
We should have won this match. And the previous one. And the one before that. All the last 3 matches have been tied and that means that we will have to win the last match next saturday.
This is the team we must win in the next match. It will be interesting.
As before, I will take my trusted K-5 and the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 with me to document the last game of the season. And I may post some shots of the game here hoping that they will also be available for the rest of you to see. I don't know what the problem is with my previous pictures. Maybe you've been deprived of the greatest football shots in all time ;D
Edit: F*** and all the other things but I hate when things don't work! Thanks rawr, edited the link and it seems to have done the trick.
