Sports Photography Opportunity

Postby Sarahrs » Tue 07 Mar 2017, 18:22

Hey All, Croydon Hockey Club has gotten through to the Semi-final of England Hockey Men's Vase. Which is a massive achievement.

They have asked us whether we would like to come and photography the game. It's on Sunday 19 March at 1:30pm at Trinity School, in Croydon. Would advise to go earlier to get a good spot.

Please send me an email if your interested in going along so I can let the lads know.

Thanks to Sarah alerting us to this opportunity. It is the first occasion I have been to a hockey match and for much of the time I was not too sure what was happening. It turns out that pretty much anything I thought I knew about hockey has changed. Thanks to one of the specators, I discovered that the teams no longer bully off, for example, but push forward. Except sometimes they push back instead. It was all very exciting though, with lots of action and all I really had to do was follow the ball. That was harder than it seemed though, as it can move extremely quickly around the pitch.

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for letting us know about the match and as Mike has stated it was a very interesting exercise. I think that we all got something out of the afternoon if only honing our techniques.

Regards,

Tom

Hi Sarah,

Here are three of my images from yesterday’s shoot that survived the first cut.

It was a very interesting and useful event. Thanks for letting us know about it.
