What a day covering
@bostonunited
v
@SUFCOfficial
in the semi final play off , the fans played a massive part as did Cameron. Full album to follow once i get 3800 photo's down to 100.
It was puzzling me when i down loaded the images from the
@SleafordTownFC
game how i had managed to get myself, well my back anyway on camera. Turns out
@j_fenton28
knows how to use a camera. The tinker.
As a photographer I love to capture special goals so I wanted the
@wisbechtownfc
player to connect and score. However as
@SleafordTownFC
club photographer I wanted him to miss. The dilemma.
I'm pleased to say that i will be
@SleafordTownFC
club photographer for the coming season. The first match i will be covering is on 1st July away to
@NewarkTownFC
in a pre season friendly. Looking forward to catching up with the players, management and of course the fans. COYG.
A Merry Christmas to all at
@SleafordTownFC
and lets have a great New Year it's been a pleasure capturing the high's and Lows of not just the team but the supporters and volunteers that make the club what it is.
A great night for

or
I won't be there tomorrow as I'm already committed to 2 charity matches so
@bostonunited
one more hurdle and your there. Hopefully more scenes like these.
How many sports photographers are checking twitter constantly to see if the game is on. If it's off where else is on. I'm covering
@wisbechtownfc

@SleafordTownFC
but also checking 6 other local matches.
I was just looking back through my sports photography career which started during lockdown when i wasn't allowed to go to watch Forest. My first match covered was my local side

It's great to see that the
@SleafordSt
are supporting the
@SleafordTownFC
centenary day and using my images on the front, back and middle pages. A first for me.
@Dan_Simmonite
I am the club photographer for
@SleafordTownFC
and I feel appreciated and also looked after. They use my images in the local press, social media etc. I do find though that many clubs are happy to use images as long as they are free.
I don't think I will ever get over the joy of my photos in written media, a new one for me in the newark advertiser as part of the promotion of
@TheHighwayMen_
v
@NFFC
U21 it will be a sell out but what will the fans do that support both teams!
Had my worst day shooting yesterday, probably the worst floodlights of any ground I've been to, player's in-between me and the goal scorers and to cap it off deleted the warm up shots when I thought they were on my laptop and the only decent photos I took. Still I go again.
Looking forward to the weekend, non stop sports photography. Saturday its
@SleafordTownFC
, then Sunday morning
@AFCWestEnd
followed by
@LincolnUtdWFC
in the afternoon. So busy I suppose being new to sports photography I'm over keen to learn, mainly through my mistakes.
It's been a while coming but the game is finally here

@NFFCAcademy
u21 in the
@NottsFA
county cup semi final. With 700 tickets sold so far it gives chance for plenty of crowd shots as well as action shots. Looking forward to covering this one.
With 1 match to go this year
@SleafordTownFC

@NorthgateOlymp2
tonight I have covered 110 matches I would like to thank all the teams that have booked me and used my images for the written press, socials and programme's.
Let's all have a great New year.

@SleafordTownFC
The
@HucknallTownFc
supporter's did themselves proud when he was stretchered off, even though they were losing they gave him a round of applause until he had left the field. Also giving there team a round of applause at the end despite losing 2-0 class.
What a season with 5 games to go including 2 today I will have covered 162 matches. I have thoroughly enjoyed it except the editing. Already sorting friendly matches for next season. No rest for the wicked.
2/2 Dean will no doubt prosper in whatever challenge he takes on next. As a traditional hand shake man i found Dean's Man Hug not to my taste but it was fitting that on the last match of the season he got a man hug out of me. And we won. All the best Dean
