Shot of the Season: Rob Mellor
We’re asking our fabulous photographers to send in their favourite image of the Pitching In Isthmian season and explain why it’s important to them. Rob brings us a Kingfisher in flight
[b]When was the image taken (match, event, etc)?[/b]
This is Christian Johnson, playing for Thatcham Town vs Northwood at the Mettal Stadium, 28th October 2023.
[b]Why is it important to you?[/b]
This was only the second time I'd shot Thatcham Town, even though they are one of my most local clubs, but they're always good value! I particularly like this shot because Christian Johnson is totally locked-in, apparently skipping over the Northwood defender - it's one of a sequence of shots where Johnson appears to shrug off numerous challenges, and will surely score [spoiler alert: he didn't]. I also like the Matryoshka of Thatcham players that draws your eye to Johnson.
[b]Where can we find the rest of your work?[/b]
I post highlights of almost all shoots from JPL through to internationals on Instagram and X/Twitter as [url=https://www.instagram.com/robmellor_photo/]@robmellor_photo[/url], and you'll find galleries of some of the bigger games on [url=https://www.robmellorphotography.com/]robmellorphotography.com[/url]
Thank you- now who's next? Send you image- and your answers to the questions- to Ian at [[email protected]][email protected][/email] and you'll see it here soon.
