Launching a Cup…
…metaphorically and literally.
When on a commission I normally try and get the “safe” shots first, and then go for something more interesting. In this instance though, because of the timing being rapidly approaching dusk, I went the other way around.
This commission was to create some images for the launch of the Ashbourne & Purcell cup-finals week-end. These are competitions for 3rd level institutions (University age) in the sport of Camogie. Camogie is the ladies form of the men’s game of hurling with a few subtle rule changes. It looks a bit vicious with lumps of wood being flailed around, but has less injuries caused than Gaelic Football.
As always I was trying to think up something that would be a little bit different and when they sky started turning nice I knew I had the shot in mind.
So in reverse order of timing, the standard shot:
Two-light, no modifiers.
The slightly more interesting shot:
One light, white shoot through.
The nice sky (and the “oops missed shot”):
and the, well you decide:
Two-light, no modifiers.
