No worries Stu. Looking like I'll be ordering material Friday at this rate.

Hi Brum

we're organising an early summer tournament in Brighton (almost definitely) on the 7th May.

It would be good to see some Birmingham teams down.

Keep the date open and listen out for news.

New pics on my Flickr of some rather tough looking chaps playing what looks like golf with bicycles.

Lovely angle on Matt and great action shots of Neil and Fin! You are getting a proper grip on that new camera...

took +/- 250 pics tonight, there's quite a few nice ones but I'm pretty strict what I spam the web with (at least I think so), giving the whole lot to Dan too so he can blog some of them, be interesting to see his favourites compared to mine.

The one of Matt is totally my favourite, when I saw it I jizzed in my pants*.

*Don't worry Matt, that's a technical camera person term and simply means 'it looks ok'.

Totally. The anal retentive in me would just crop out Andy's head, a stray wheel, the whole of Neil in Matt's shot (sorry Neil). Moves to ...Portrait thread >>>>>>>

I like the clutter of the mallets/wheels trying to get in on the shots, like people can't quite get to the ball/action etc... plus it's obviously not staged but the 'noise' just confirms that.
I won't win a prize with these but they work for me.
I totally know what you mean though, feel free to edit as you see fit and post them up, I love feedback

No way dude, they're your shots. That's the beauty of everyone having a different style! A crop is as far as I go editing wise anyway. Your prize is that excellent spread in WMBP you're doing...

+1 with MG, you're definitely getting a feel for the camera.
Can I use them for that Fused article? (do you want to be credited as Pete Void?)

Just posted one on Lessismore's Birmingham Cyclist forum, so maybe some traffic for Dan's blog as I linked to it and maybe some new polo blood.
Thought it was about time we popped our head up on that forum again...

OH-EM-GEE, you just broke the Void-low-profile-on-the-internets rule!

ps. VOID I'm totally blogging you again. Just keep taking pics, I'll never have to write anything ever...

Yes, and yes but can you edit my real name on this forum, I'm super squirrely about being 'real' online - no Facebook etc...

But yeah, use my name and link to my Flickr main page please...

Ok, multi edit time people...

:-)

If I really wanted to piss you off, I could totally cut and paste a great pic with your head right now...
