On the 25th January, my son Jacob and I went to watch our first A-League football (soccer) match between the Central Coast Mariners and the Melbourne Victory at the Central Coast Bluetongue Stadium. We’d never been to see a live game before so we were both excited!

The result of the game wasn’t really going to change the shape of the finals series as both teams had already guaranteed their spot in the final 4. Still, it was a great game to watch although the Central Coast went down 1-0, with Melbourne scoring a goal in about the 79th minute.

I took my camera along to record some photos of the game. Hopefully they portray the mood and atmosphere of the event. All shots taken with the Canon 20D. Wide shots were captured with the Sigma 17-70mm lens and close-ups were with the stock 75-300mm lens.

Just a quick post as I get through my backlog of photos..

I took these a couple of weeks ago after cutting down a tree in my backyard. Found lots of tiny critters on it, including these spiders. One of them had a little moth that he/she was nibbling on.
