AS SATURDAY DRAWS TO A CLOSE

During the winter months Saturday football ends in darkness. At 4pm the dusk light falls over the ground, sometimes with startling effects.

I could have used colour for this scene, but I think in b/w the sky looks better than it really did.

Because I spot metered the pitch - which was well floodlit, the surrounding areas - not lit - automatically created a dark frame for the pitch. The photographers just happened to be there, one was on his way out when the corner happened - so he dropped his bag and snapped away.
