Start of a new month and time to join in with Brian’s Last on the Card Challenge😎👍
I’m going to be a bit naughty this time – As my long-suffering Canon 5D has been retired from active duty, I will share the last footy shot of the month as well as the last general shot from the Fujifilm X-H2s.
This week all my shots were taken on Saturday 30/03/2024. Lets go earliest to latest.
Saturday’s football match was an away game over at Hornchurch which entailed getting a train out to Upminster Bridge. There are a couple of ways to get there and my preferred option this time was to go down to Bank on the Northern Line and then take the DLR to Limehouse where I would catch the c2c service to Upminster. I took this shot of 357003 with the Fuji X-H2s while waiting for my train at Limehouse…
Once I got to Upminster it was a single station hop on the District Line back to Upminster Bridge. From there it’s a short walk to the ground along the A124 Upminster Road and up Bridge Avenue. This shot of the A124 was taken using the Moto g50…
…Some serious cropping and that will be a nice shot😂
Finally, after the match against league leaders Hornchurch, I have this shot of three of our players leaving the pitch. The Fuji X-H2s’ metering has really been conned by the light in this one😅…
…Ben seems to be offering some advice to Bobby. Something along the lines of “Stop showing your underwear to the cameraman – he gets all excited!” 🤣 As a post script, Hornchurch could have won the league and promotion on the day with a win. Instead we became the first team to beat them at home this season and, in doing so, keep our own play-off hopes alive. The Isthmian League’s own reporter was there to watch the match so for once there is an unbiased report on the game.

February has been a time of change and will probably see the last photo from the venerable Canon EOS 5d mkIII as I downsize my kit to reduce the weight I carry to football matches. Also affected is the Fujifilm X-Pro2 though I have some future tasks in mind for this camera. Stepping in to replace both for football and general photography is the Fujifilm X-H2s. The Moto g50 remains as mobile phone camera. Here are my last shots for February for each camera starting with the oldest shot first…
The last outing for the Fujifilm X-Pro2 was back on Monday February 5th when I was tracking down Class 378 units for haulage – you can read about that in my Spotting post for that week. Here’s 378146 arriving at Surrey Quays…
Final outing for the Canon EOS5D mkIII was on Tuesday the 6th when I photographed a 4-2 win for Wingate & Finchley against Chatham Town…
The Moto g50 usually gets used only as a stepcounter and a means of contact when I’m out and about. I sometimes send Epi a photo of where I am on my spotting days out. This was taken at Reading on Friday the 23rd showing 221134 on a Manchester to Bournemouth service…
Finally, a shot from the Fujifilm X-H2s. Taken on Tuesday 28th at London Bridge we have 377522 operating a late evening Charing Cross to Maidstone East service…
