    Default Pool at the "Turks"

    The Turks (formerly "Turks Head") is a pub in Reading. An unexpected visit after work today lead me to snap the pool-playing. The quality isn't great due to lack of light or steadying facilities.. but I quite like them anyway.

    Haven't been there for years. Nice moody photos, although I'm not sure he should be striking the black.

    Well, I'm not sure what happened, but he definitely wasn't going for the black. I checked my next shot which was 8 seconds later and the black was in the same place but I still couldn't see the white... but hey, it adds a little mystery to the shot

    I just snapped a few without trying too hard to get the right settings for the situation (I'm not used to dark situations), but I may be out tonight snapping a local band for their website,.... so I'm going to have to try a little harder to deal with the dark side
