High up at altitude in Forest Green as Gloucester City win their third game on the bounce, this time 2-1 against Clevedon Town.

In the second half the sun came out and so did the 1.4x TC giving me some nice naturally lit images.

Here are some of the best :)

Crowd shot - "When Harry met Sally!"

Easy. The last one!

It's taken such a lot of effort to get my remote camera running that any unique photo like that will stand out :)

Great series, looks like you had some fun!

A couple of the remote images look a little underexposed, at least on my comp.
