The Heartbreaking Homecoming

kensutz

Some from last night at an emotional homecoming. A lot more emotional shots on my flickr page.

Dragan

The last three shots are all great. Do a really great job of capturing what must have been a very hard day.

Great work.

i love the 2 nd last one , you can nearly hear his tears - great image

Dodgykeeper

second last for me, the guy looks gutted, must have been hard for the lads ut they say you have to lose a final before you can win one so hopefully hey bounce back!

Well done Ken. All the emotion captured in a couple of shots.

Awsome photos

Even if someone didn't know the background to this shot, or this man, it still stands out as an amazing capture of emotion. It's a hard hard thing to do, well done!

Borderfox

Great shots Ken, well captured.

I'd like to see this in B&W, emotion can be captured a bit better with B&W IMO

WTF? Idiot. Just as well you're exiled.....this is a photography forum - not comedy central.

Dodgykeeper

This from a Cork City Fan , your season will be over on Saturday when The Real City dump you out of the cup!

City Exile - Think you need to read the "Basic Manners" sticky.

Dragan

City-Exile,

this is not the GAA forum.

As such, i can only assume your use of the word "failed" is a C&C of the shots provided?

If so then please expand. If not, the maybe think about how pointless that was.;)

Dodgykeeper

Jaysus go easy there lads, Am sure his comments were just in Jest part of the ongoing Waterford/Cork rivalry, Altough its a photography forum there is still room for this sort of light hearted banter, i will be posting pictures from Cork City v Derry City on sunday so there will be plenty of oppurtunity to get city excile back then!

PhotoMe

Some really great photos there.

Never easy to be on the side that is beaten.

shepthedog

Some great shots there... Never easy to photography people in that situation.. Good work!

I am afraid the context of these images are lost on me.

Is it the last train journey or is it something Sport related?

I am assuming Sport as it's ussually the only time men seem able to show emotion publicly.

AnimalRights

City Exile did use "!" after each picture!
Because this is not the GAA forum but the Photography forum does this mean we can't have any banter here or share a SOH?
I never visit the GAA forum but did find the "Fails" funny and humorous.
I wouldn't know anyone on the GAA forums and of course banter amongst mates is always funnier.

Dragan

Guys,

can we please not derail another thread? As already mentioned a million times ( You should be more aware of this than anyone AR ) if you have an issue with something a mod says in the course of Moderation then PM them and stop taking threads off topic.

And sadly AR it can be hard to tell through the interwebs exactly who are "mates" here.

Although it does become slightly more clear over time.

Cheers.

Cabain, its the Waterford Hurling team arriving back at the Train Station in Waterford (which is actually in Kilkenny) after their defeat to the Cats on Sunday!

TBH Dragan, I posted my reply at the same time as yours and did not see it until after I posted

City-Exile

Sorry for upsetting the moderators.
When the title requests C&C, I'll consider giving some.

The thread is full of comments relating to the event, rather than the photographs.
Feel free to remove all of that.
I won't be checking back on this thread for a response.

Is that a threat?
If I wasn't exiled, what difference would it make?
Sounds like John Mullane talk there from you.

The first post to not mention any aspect of the photos, even if it was just the emotions shown, was yours.

Nice to see a consistant adult attitude.

CabanSail

It's interesting to see how the context of images can affect the way that one views them. I am not into Sports at all & have only been in Ireland a short time, so the implications of a GAA game are not very meaningful to me. As such the images look quite ordinary record shots. I realise that the skill involved is not as much the composition, but rather just being there to capture them.

Could this be said of Sports Shots in General, I know most of my composition is done afterwards with the crop tool!

I think that is true for a lot of Sports Images. I have seen some which are extraordinary even if you know nothing about the sport itself. There are a lot from the recent Olympics that fall into this catagory.

I remember we had a talk at DCC a while ago from a Sports Photographer that did a alot of Soccer images. The technical side was fascinating. He also had a series of shots that he did quite well with in the press of some guy that got sacked or resigned (or something? from memory his name was Keene) Well a lot looking at the talk were very impressed but as I did not know the history, or have any interest in the events, they looked a bit like family snaps to me.

If one did not realise it's importance, then the Zapruder film would be much the same.

on another note, if anyone is around Waterford, Cork or more specifically Lismore this weekend , myself and Witold are putting on an exhibition for the weekend , of last weekend supposed celebrations !

Like ye dumped Kilkenny out?:D:D Sorry Dragan. Last word on the subject.

kensutz

I wasn't asking for C&C and myself and City Exile have a long running joke between Cork and Waterford. No need for any warnings because I know he meant it in good spirits.

The reason God invented smilies was to show when things are said with humour. From now on if private jokes and such are shared in the public domain it would help if clearer indicators were given about those jokes.

Haha!

What starts and ends at 3.30?

Magnificent! Mullane says it all. A wonderful moment of emotion which will not be lost on anyone who see's it.
btw. I was hoping for a Kilkenny victory, but to see the devastation on John Mullane and Tony Browne would emphasise that much used phrase, Sport can be Cruel"
