A Gif of my folio of sports action moments.

My submission to the Aperture Folio competition.

So many up and coming photographers.

Image makers of the future or one shot wonders?

Good luck to them.

Pea Park - The home of Adelaide Hockey Club
On a wet Sunday afternoon.My glasses and viewfinder splattered with rain,
the camera searching to focus in the low visibility and flattened view.
The rain does that, distance becomes indiscernible, a fog.
I focus manually hardly successful, try for the impossible.
What can one make out of a burnt cake...(thought bubble) - cut off the outer layers.
Yes.... a GIF!

Adelaide Premier League Men playing Grange Royals, struggling to find an equaliser and take it
to a shootout, the score 1 - 2.
A shot on goal from Victorian import James Humphries.

Excuse the artistic licence.
I think I have been reading too much of the Robert Cappa D Day and resultant
aftermath drama.

PREMIER LEAGUE MENS HOCKEY Round 3 Adelaide 7 d Woodville 1

The game was played at Pea Park Adelaide's home ground on Saturday 4 May at 3.30pm.
Woodville opened the ledger but the game was very even to half time.
Adelaide's pre-season fitness came to the fore in the second half and they ran out winners 7 - 1.
Hockey is a fascinating game to photograph because of the pace and skill of the players.
It is always revealing when editing the photographs to see what has been recorded.
