PHOTO FOOTBALL

THE RULES

The team to take the most photographs of the other side.

The landing area - A photo stand off between locals and tourists.

We are here today to bring an exciting game of "Who can photograph the other side more".. Brought to you directly from the landing site of Shwe Indein Pagoda, it promises to be a fascinating game.

The 2 teams that wil be playing are:

The Locals.

A strong team who favour agile and handy smartphones. Quick on the draw and directly down the facebook route.
Will be hard to beat here on their home ground. This whole teams equipment costs less than the tourist's average camera,but it's dedication and talent that count,and they certainly have the home crowd cheering them on.

VS

The Tourists.

With equipment to die for, and cameras fully charged and at the ready. Will those 10 mins of youtube tutorials have taught them enough to get a correct exposure?

Odds

The tourists are the clear bookies' favourites to win this match.

Well, it looks like the tourists have managed to fire off 2 photographs already, but the locals already have scored one themselves. A thrilling start.

Tourists 2- Locals 1

Own Goal!!!

Own goal here for the tourists. This guy looks like he has a very expensive video camera, but no clue how to use it. The crowd are going crazy.

Tourists 2 - Locals 2

Tourists score.

Nice squint, good composure, definitely a well exposured histogram here. Looks like a winner for the tourists.

Tourists 3 - Locals 2

##Miss!!! Uuuunnbeleivable.

Ahh, if only she had a smartphone, this young local player had the talent but lacked the equipment. Galling to see such a young photographer missing an open goal like this.
