Some more images from the Ashes series in Cardiff.

We thought it was going to be a total wash out today – but managed two full sessions. Some hero’s this time, more rain, some humiliation and a lot of laughs!

  1. real nice use of block colours in these, i would love to see the one with the graphics on the grass distorted so the graphics are correct and the people become distorted.

  2. No problem at all Rhod – I was using the Canon G10 so it’s pretty compact but there were others around me that had SLRs with 300mm lenses photgraphing the cricket rather than the event itself.

  3. That’s an interesting idea Andy and one that somebody should try doing. The distortion of logos etc is all over the place and what you suggest could make a really interest set. Think about all the road markings that are distorted so that the car driver sees it at the correct perspective, and reversing these. I like it!!
