Nearing the end of the football season and Heart of Midlothian were holding their annual Player of the Year Awards night. Held at The Edinburgh International Conference Centre in Edinburgh it is a large event with sponsors, club players, directors and fans present. A variety of awards we handed including woman's players , Academy players , club staff, and culminating in the mens player of the year.
My challenge was to be at the front of the stage and photograph the various recipients receiving their awards and then quickly go backstage to do a posed photo of each recipient with their award. Then back to the stage in time for the next one! A busy evening but very enjoyable in a fun atmosphere. Fortunately mission was accomplished! I used two cameras, both set up differently so that when I changed locations, a camera was already on the correct settings. Fortunately there was a low ceiling , meaning that I could "bounce the flash" from it without blinding the people on stage.
