It's been a long time already since I last took part in the #monomad challenge in this black-and-white community. Here is my entry for the #monomad challenge and my first picture here is a portrait picture of my mother. Mothers are very special, they dedicate their lives to taking care of us and most of them do this till old age, not disregarding the fathers because they're also doing a great job with a lot of sacrifices.
It was a sunny day and we were just about to go out to get something when I noticed the sun's rays focused on that area, I quickly told her to pose for a picture which she did and it turned out to be a very great picture with lots of emotions.
Mother's are;
- caring
- special
- encouraging mentors
- unique
- nurturing caregivers
- caring listeners
Moving out for a walk and a shoot with my brother, we were able to capture this beautiful scene in our stadium, the sun was bright, the grass green and the whole stadium was clean and reflective. I enjoyed the whole scene, there weren't any footballers on the pitch as it is kept specially for an important match and also there are training pitches outside the stadium.
We made a tour around the stadium as I took photos of the stadium and sky from different angles. The stadium has a 30k capacity and it is easily accessible because it's in the heart of the city with major roads leading to the stadium. Many international matches are played here, and some of the African games are hosted here.
It is just 12-15 kilometers away from my house and I can easily reach there if I board a vehicle that takes me straight to the stadium.
I love the scenes in the stadium, the joy, the jubilation, and the unity that exists amongst fans irrespective of the sides. A game was played just yesterday evening and I wasn't able to watch but Nigeria won with a goal against Libya, I watched it on TV and I would say it was a really tough and enjoyable game.
I would love to have a good hand camera with a good lens to capture the moments in the field and also clean shots of big players like; Victor oshimen, Victor Boniface, iheanacho, and so on.
