Last on the Card – May 2023

Start of a new month and time to enter Brian’s Last on the card challenge😎

The Canon EOS5D mkIII had its last outing on May 5th for the Wingate & Finchley Youth Awards – It was also my last footie job for the 22/23 season. At the end of photographing the various award winners, Johnny – our senior youth coach, asked me to take this a group photo…

…Cue some banter – “That’s not a Wingate shirt” 😂 The young man (one of our youth players) has been signed up by the Crystal Palace youth academy – now that’s what it’s all about😎👍

On the Moto g50 we have a shot taken in Chipping Barnet on the day I went to get some new walking boots from Millets. This is a typically mobile phone wide-angle shot looking towards St John the Baptist Church…

…It was a good day out as I met one of my trainee photographers in Millets where he has got himself a job and he was able to sell me a nice pair of boots😂👍

Another of those ‘end of a great spotting day out’ shots for the FujiFilm X-pro2…

…Comfrey with an attendant Bee taken in Brent Park.

All shots as taken – just resized for the web.

CMMC – May Pick a Topic from my Photo

Cee’s photo has a number of suggested subjects this month – ‘house, building, construction, lumber, basement, steps, window, reflection…’ So let’s see what we can come up with for this Midweek Madness Challenge👍

Lets start with Steps and Building…

…And the building is predominantly White.

Window – well quite a few windows…

Some Outdoor Stairs…

…This is Xstrata at Kew Gardens and is a bit of an Oddball installation as it allows visitors to walk in the tree canopy. It also sways quite a bit😅

And finally, a Fire Escape…

Last on the Card – April 2023

Happy May Day everyone 😎 Time to join Brian’s Last on the Card Challenge👍

I think we’ll do these in chronological order…

Canon EOS 7D mkII – These days this camera only gets used when I need a flash. The shot was taken on April 15th at the Wingate & Finchley’s Annual Awards Night. Sam makes his acceptance speech for Club Player of the Season…

Moving on to the Canon EOS 5D mkIII – This shot was taken on the way home from our last match of the season on April 22nd. 377624 arriving at Carshalton…

Next we have the Moto g50 – Taken during my latest Freedom Pass Project trip on 28th April. This is the Olympic Village from outside Stratford International DLR station…

Lastly, it’s the turn of the FujiFilm X-Pro2 – This shot was taken on 29th April during a local walk. Metroline DEM1357 on the 382 route at the junction of Squires Lane and Long Lane. Unusually, it’s turning round at Finchley Central…
