Last on the Card – March 2024

Start of a new month and time to join in with Brian’s Last on the Card Challenge😎👍

I’m going to be a bit naughty this time – As my long-suffering Canon 5D has been retired from active duty, I will share the last footy shot of the month as well as the last general shot from the Fujifilm X-H2s.

This week all my shots were taken on Saturday 30/03/2024. Lets go earliest to latest.

Saturday’s football match was an away game over at Hornchurch which entailed getting a train out to Upminster Bridge. There are a couple of ways to get there and my preferred option this time was to go down to Bank on the Northern Line and then take the DLR to Limehouse where I would catch the c2c service to Upminster. I took this shot of 357003 with the Fuji X-H2s while waiting for my train at Limehouse…

Once I got to Upminster it was a single station hop on the District Line back to Upminster Bridge. From there it’s a short walk to the ground along the A124 Upminster Road and up Bridge Avenue. This shot of the A124 was taken using the Moto g50…

…Some serious cropping and that will be a nice shot😂

Finally, after the match against league leaders Hornchurch, I have this shot of three of our players leaving the pitch. The Fuji X-H2s’ metering has really been conned by the light in this one😅…

…Ben seems to be offering some advice to Bobby. Something along the lines of “Stop showing your underwear to the cameraman – he gets all excited!” 🤣 As a post script, Hornchurch could have won the league and promotion on the day with a win. Instead we became the first team to beat them at home this season and, in doing so, keep our own play-off hopes alive. The Isthmian League’s own reporter was there to watch the match so for once there is an unbiased report on the game.
