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.

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…

All shots are as taken – just resized for the internet.

Last on the Card – March 2023

A couple of days into the new month and it’s time for me to take part in Brian’s Last on the Card challenge.

No shots with the mobile phone again this month.

On the Canon EOS5D mkIII I have a footy shot of sorts…

…but no players or pitch! Taken on my journey home from our match against Corinthian Casuals at Tolworth. This pair of Class 455 units will be my train back to Waterloo – They’ve just got to go to Chessington South first and then reverse. They’ll be back in around 20 minutes😂 And – if you’ve been following events on my blog, you’ll know that they should really be a ghost train by now!

Last on card for the Fujifilm X-Pro2 is a shot from a train…

…Unfortunately with too many reflections to be of much use🙄 My train is running into Blackfriars station and the tight curve allows for a view of the office blocks on Blackfriars Road. These have all gone up since I used to work in Colombo House a little further down the road, so I need to visit and familiarise myself with the area again😂

As usual, photos unaltered except for resizing for the internet.
