Im going - but most definitely as a spectator! It will be my first non music or GAA event in croke park. Im planning on bringing my camera but only if it isn’t raining! Got good seats also

OnLooker

Sure why not. See you tomorrow.

opti76

why not indeed.. see ye inside lads hopefully it will stay warm

Dodgykeeper

Shep is in too so thats 4, so far!

kensutz

Ah go on then, I'll blow ye out of the water :pac::pac:

Paulw

Count me in too.

I think city-exile will be there too, and probably soccercc too.

This should be very interesting.

Dodgykeeper

The Rules:

All Images mailed to me, I will load up to flickr, this way people will vote for the picture and not the person ( otherwise I will get no votes)

I will then set up a Poll and will request that it be stickied for a week!

Best picture wins and will be awarded a prize!

Ricky91t

Good idea to hide the exif on the images as some people might look in that

Look forward to voting for this

Whats the prize :pac:

workaccount

Class idea.

How would I hide the exif?

Was thinking about a Little Graphic I could put in my sig, i mean the winner could put in their sig!

Ricky91t

I don't know..I can't remember!It's just flickr shows my name for each photo i've taken so it might do the same for yours...Try searching "removing exif data in photoshop"

Interesting. I got a text from someone else who says they've it sewn up too.

Ah, I might as well submit an entry anyway, even if it doesn't win. You just never know how people will vote.

Perfect fit

It was twice as depressing being there. Damn cold too.

It should be interesting to see the different views of the game here.

Ok, I've made my choice for the competition. Could be a contender after all.

Just waiting to hear where to send the image now.

Dodgykeeper

Send them to fergusmcnally@gmail.com

Will get the Poll up as soon as I get all the entrants!

Should be fun!

Paulw

What's the conditions though?

What max size? 1200px largest side?

No using the entry on your flickr, pix, website, etc. One entry per person. Must have been taken last night in Croke Park.

conkeroo

Im in too. Will be good to see the different shots. And damn it was cold last night!

Dodgykeeper

Was gonna load to my flickr keep on pvt and then post here at medium!

Level playing field, are we gonna let the soccer forum know so they can vote?

steelydan99

Was a cold one alright,and the game had less than exciting action. Im in also but don't know if i have a winer yet?
Ken will be late I guess as he might be going up to Dublin again today for the Leinster game.

Interesting idea. Mixed feelings about this one. Might be good to have their votes, but at the same time, might be more interesting to just leave it to the photography section.

Up to you really.

Might be a good idea there, get some extra feedback.

shepthedog

So when are we getting this going? Probably an idea to set some sort of deadline...

Should be a good bit of fun and interesting to see everyones take on things...

Paulw

I've already submitted my image.

I guess 10am tomorrow as the deadline??? The Fergus can post them sometime tomorrow, for voting.

Dodgykeeper

Make it 4.00pm and keep it open for a week??

steelydan99

sent in my entry

whyulittle

Who got unlucky asking the guy in the Town hat was he Ray Egan!?

To be fair, you would have felt the odds were in your favour.

Dodgykeeper

That would have been me, there is only about 2 dozen Athlone Fans in total and for two of them to be snappers is amazing;)

I was the offended party :P (only jokin Ray) ... if I'd known that was you I'd have said hello properly ... was just too cold. Could have had a good chat about kits
Longford have already had problems this season and I was called in as an advisor!

Posted my entry there.

what about posting the same photos on both forum with a poll on each and then see who the winner is in each as it may be interesting to see what photogs pick versus what a sports fan picks etc ?

Was VERY Cold in Croke PK on Saturday!!

City-Exile

People are complaining about the cold and bad football.
You lot deserve a good kick up the hole!
It doesn't get much better for football in Ireland.

Great facilities, fantastic hosts, wonderful light, comfortable viewing positions, perfect weather for football, loads of "stars" on display, well timed tackles, and a couple of goals to boot.

In fairness, you lot are spoiled rotten, if you can complain about last Saturday.
May all your troubles be so small.

I think that was the point - there is better football in Ireland. Many LOI games would be of as good, if not better quality than the Rep of Ireland international team. :rolleyes:

Ok, totally agree about the facilities, hosts, light, position, etc. Fair play to the FAI (and even GAA) for that.

As for the stars - was that not more to do with Earth Hour, and the lack of general light polution, so we had a clear view of the sky and stars???

So simple obversations of the weather conditions and a poor match warrant this narked response? Clearly your troubles are few and far between if mere football and meteorological posts can upset you this much. :rolleyes:

Ah, that's not a narked response. You need to know city-exile to know how to read his posts. It just seems like a narked response, when it's not really.

Paulw, when you're there as a photographer, you just have to hope you get the right action. The challenges and tackles were well timed and often crunching.
There are very few games in the LoI where you get the same calibre of action. You'd be lucky to get one clean sliding tackle in a game.
There are also very few players in Ireland who are as strong as Petrov on the ball.
That's what makes for good pictures.
