    Don’t start now with the Karate Kid Graham again… I’m a lover, not a fighter… if he wants a scrap then Joe Elway is into the MMA stuff.

    :lol: :D Number three is class. Very funny.

    Number one is a good shot. Real good dejected view on the player. Would be nice to maybe see the opposing teams blurred celebrations in the background or something but a good shot.

    Well done

    Believe it or not…the match wasn’t even over when I took that shot… :lol:

    He had to play another quarter!!!

    These are real men….not yer pampered soccer players…hehehe!! Smokes during time outs…

    What can ya say!!

    Edit: Ooops…read that wrong… No.1 was while the game was on okay…but they had a rough time..the Outlaws…

    But not as bad as some of the other teams as you’ll see if you check the scores from the other matches on a previous thread.

    Pretty disheartening to just watch score after score going up against ya okay.

    Thanks Shar..Ken..

    I don’t think he makes a habit (bad pun) of smoking during games..I think he just took advantage of having some friendly togs present and wanted the shot as a joke.

    Mind you…his coach has already found the shots on my Flickr..so not sure he’ll be too happy when he sees this shot…heheh!!

    Actually..I was thinking of printing these 3 shots as a triptych …wanted to do a web version but I’m not sure how to put these in one frame. I’ve seen a good few examples on here over the years, but have never done it myself.

    If anyone can explain how it’s done in PS that would be great ;-)

    Robbie,

    I have the details for doing a triptych at home, plus some templates. Will post this evening assuming you don’t figure it out before hand.

    Great!! Thanks John. No fear of me figuring it our before then… actualkly have to do a bit of work this morning…so all my braincells will be in use…heheh!!

    It’s simple enough.. something along the lines of:

    Get a template
    Take you first shot and create it as a new layer on top of the template
    I think you have to change the blend mode… can’t remember
    Use free transform and the move tool to position and resize over the relevant triptych image space
    Use the eraser tool to rub out any overlap between the image and the border of the triptych image space
    Repeat for the rest of the shots

    Will update tonight.
