Hard to believe a legend of the game is departing Manchester this summer, after giving the league so many memories over the years.
You'll be missed, Tyrell Malacia.
@richfurness@joshpearson180@anonymous_darts Shambles. Only seems to be the Prem you see this in. Went to Wolverhampton, Blackpool & Ally Pally last year. Didn’t see anything like this.
Last time went to the Prem in Manchester 2 years ago, there was bits of trouble. Won’t be rushing back
Here you go @guinners1
This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet.
The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation
with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy.
There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one.
That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure.

This is the 5th Patterson Barker collaboration book I’ve read. And they never disappoint. I pretty much only read Crime Fiction. But I didn’t see any of the twists and turns this book dished out. Superb.
Just been for a quick in the flesh peak at the new Adidas Napoli being released tomorrow. The burgundy/green is superb.
The good lady in Size? Market St Manchester said the first 30 people through the door to buy a pair get a specially made red/white pizza box with apron inside
Wayne Mardle has had to go through more pain in the last couple of years than any man ever should
It was incredibly brave of him to upload this and hopefully he knows he’s got plenty of support from fans, players and colleagues alike
Darts loves ya Wayne 🎯❤️
