Pacific FC played their first match against HFX Wanderers in the newly formed Canadian Premier League yesterday. Since is was a sell-out I wanted to capture the fans during the pre-game introductions and during the game so on occasion I shot at f/22 so the players and the fans were both in focus.
The atmosphere was wonderful and being the first game the team did a great job preparing the field and painting the surrounding buildings and hydro poles in team colours.
