Round 10 of the A-League was back at Etihad Stadium. Since its been raining the match was under a closed roof. This is the first match at Etihad this season as the first 9 rounds were at the new AAMI stadium. I like Etihad from a photographer’s perspective. The facilities are much better. At AAMI […]
An overcast afternoon for this match. Shot the first half from Level 3 of the stadium giving a really clean background to the images. Link to gallery here.
First weekend with no rain for quite a few weeks. Had a 10.5mm fisheye from Nikon on a D300s body. I was surprised how much better the D3 and D3s is still compared with the D300s sensor. Also shot some of the football with my 1.7 teleconverter. The images were pretty good and nothing beats […]
This was an afternoon match, starting at 3pm. The weather was beautiful with bright sunshine. However, this posed a real conundrum for shooting position. The sun was lighting half the stadium when the match started. If you positioned yourself in the shade then then shooting players in the sunshine meant either the image is going […]
Thursday night was the opening match of the 2010-11 A-League. Here are some images of the new 11th team, Melbourne Heart playing the Central Coast Mariners.

A couple of photos of photographers covering the A-League game at Etihad stadium:

Perfect shooting conditions – mid 20s, stable lighting, lots of action. Good to catch up with Theo and Adam.
A rare daylight match at Etihad stadium. Nice to shoot when the light is clearer and more “blue” than the artificial lights.

Images from A-League action 24 October at Etihad Stadium, Melbourne. Good crowd of over 20,000 – shot most of the first half with a 1.7x extender on the 400mm as all the action was down at the Adelaide goal. Thought the 2nd half would be down at my end so I shot without the 1.7x […]
