After being unable to actually get into the Leicester City Football Ground I had a think and realised that there is a Holiday Inn Express right next to it.  I had called the hotel last week to see if they had a spare room, overlooking the ground.  They sounded interested in my project, but could only offer me a meeting room.  Leicester City are at the top of the league and the hotel is full.  I fully appreciate that they can’t give a room to a student for a few hours instead of booking it out to a paying customer.

The meeting room was actually pretty good.  Looking at the front of the ground, with tall windows.  Kickoff was 7:30pm, so I got to the hotel at about 5pm and set it to take a shot every minute from 5:30pm.  I then left it, locked in the conference room.  I went back after the game at about 10:30pm

I’ve now put the images together, although I made a pretty basic error and left the auto-focus on, so there is a couple of times the camera re-focuses and looks like it’s zooming slightly.  I also struggled with the lighting, because the sun went down during photographing.  The light shots at the start were slightly over exposed and the later ones were too dark.  Because I had more dark than light I corrected for the dark and lost a lot of shots from the start.  It still looks pretty good though.
