It's strange how the law of energy compensation works: my bro' Candi has always enjoyed football (soccer). He can wake up at four am o'clock to watch a semifinals match... All his life he has been playing as goalkeeper in one team or other, sometimes in high competitive leagues. But a few years ago he stopped it: probably in part because it was too much sacrifice for so little recompense but mainly because the life becomes more complicated as time goes by. Two weeks ago he explained me he was tired of playing amateur games with people that doesn't take it seriously, wining the game without a real effort. In fact, he was angry for wining so easily.
Now he's back, training until midnight and playing all the weekends. And of course, the compensation law still works: I hate football.
But I love to watch my brother playing.

Perhaps I should start writing real titles again: everybody will tell you a photo without a proper name isn't worth of consideration. Bah, I think I consider this sentence a silly one ;-)

This is an attempt to do a conceptual approach to this sport. Ok, ok, I'll work on it a bit more ;-)

Here is Candi. He have always played soccer, at least as far as I can remember. When his job took away his free time he was forced to stop for a couple of years... but some months ago club called Vallirana offered him the goalkeeper role. Since then he has become a key part in every match. Oh, and sorry for the grain: he was too far for a clear shot.

Anybody knows what kind of equipment do professional use to do sport photography? A monopod and a quality lens, for sure. Anything else in the bag?

I didn't know it but seems that artificial grass provides a very slow ball motion so the field is usually hosed down with a lot of water before the game. I'm very happy with the mood of this photo... looks... I don't know, looks like extracted from an old film.

I'm playing a bit with those unreal retouches, hoping to achieve interesting effects. In this case I also added a (for me) unusual camera angle.

Overexposed and oversaturated. But I like it.
