This past weekend was the second LRG bout of the season which saw London's All-Star team (London Brawling) take on Sioux Falls who were over from America. It was a really good win for London and I think it highlights how much they are progressing. As usual I had an awesome day and am itching for the next bout already (which isn't till Feb). Shooting this time was harder than usual as the lighting really seemed a lot dimmer than normal which meant shooting at higher ISOs and lower shutter speeds than I would have liked. Sadly this means my shots are a lot grainier and not as sharp as I'd have liked but at the moment with the kit I have, there wasn't a lot I can do about it.

I've been working recently on an events photography/gallery section of my website (similar to the festival galleries I shot over the summer). I decided as I want to do more roller derby photography that I would have a dedicated LRG gallery/site which I have 'launched' it with photos from the first two bouts. It allows for much better interaction with the photos and sharing on social networks. I'm hoping it should turn into something cool, especially as the season progresses.

Since moving to DPG, I really love galleries with large images. It allows you to really appreciate the scale or detail in shots but it can also really highlight the negatives in the work (especially when I look at my own). It's can be really hard to tell sometimes until a photo is up and online.

Anyway, hope people enjoy the shots and the new site (make sure you check out the link below).
