Sony Twilight football: All the action from Anteguera
Posted on 25. Sep, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry in Streetflava
South Africa 18 - 3 Spain
After a 25-hour mega transfer from Spain, we’re back.
The actual Sony Twilight football event that we attended took place in a bullring in the historical town of Antuguera about an hour out of Malaga.
The football game itself was set up in the middle of the bullring with an all-star South African outfit taking on a local Spanish rock band. Understandably with the likes of Mark Williams [ex-Bafana bafana African nations cup winner] and the sports guy from Etv in the South African team – it wasn’t really a contest. South Africa drilled the Spanish 18-3.
Winners
They could have put more past them, but they went to Club Duvet in the second half and only scored 5 goals.
Photographers from around the world shot the action on the new Sony low light gear during the game which was uploaded, along with all the other footage from the other 6 games to Sony’s servers, and will form part of a global marketing campaign for the range leading up to the 2010 World Cup.
The low-light capabilities of our own camera was remarkable. It actually seemed to shoot better images the darker the stadium got. We shot loads of footage – so as the editing gets done and all the stupid things we said gets dumped – we can pop them up here.
Check out the photographs from all the other games that happened around the world on the official Flickr page here.
