We’ve all noticed, these last few weeks the need for sun cream and hats before we go outside! Up here in the North East, its not quite hot enough for the shorts yet, however the sun cream does signify the start of the cricket season! 8 hour days spent, both basking and hiding from the sun, watching the long shadows, become short shadows and then long again, as the day unfolds.
It can be a long day, shooting cricket, you need to stay focused all day and not get distracted shooting a giant panoramic like this one…
I started the season off with a day photographing the opening game of the season at The Emirates Durham International Cricket Ground, or what used to be called The Riverside. It was a four day LV= County Championship Match between Durham and Sussex CCC’s. It went all the way to the fourth day, but in the end Sussex managed to take the match with two wickets to spare.
