Salem Red Sox vs Myrtle Beach Pelicans - June 5, 2010

Here are a few pictures that I took at the game. Our seat wasn't the best, we thought we were getting some pretty good seats right next to the dugout on the first row, but the dugout was higher than we expected and I had to take pics between the bars. :)

This was between innings, there were two people dressed up in sumo outfits, but while the one guy was waiting for the 2nd person, the mascot decided to have some fun. :)













































We stopped by the bluefield walmart on our way home and noticed this shopping card, only a few yard's from the shopping cart return area. I wonder what the person was thinking when they decided not to put the cart in the return area. Probably something like "oh man, that's so far away, I cant possibly walk that far to return it, so Ill just leave it here".

August 2, 2009 - Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles

Earlier this month, my wife and I went to a Baltimore Orioles game. My wife is a huge Boston Red Sox fan and this was her first MLB game. :)

I was not to sure how safe it would be to carry my dslr camera with me in Baltimore, so I left it at home, and brought a canon small point and shoot camera. But I wish I brought my good camera. :) Some people think you need a great camera to take great pictures, but that is not the truth. Its the person behind the camera. However a camera with manual options does make it easier. The small canon I brought with me does not allow you to choose your exposure settings, and in the shooting modes, there is nothing for sports or action. So half the time the camera chose a small aperature instead of a fast shutter speed, causing motion blur. Plus it only had 3x optical zoom. So I know next time to bring my good camera with me. :)

Here are a few pictures from this game.

The red sox won the game, 18-10. There was a lot of hits to photograph, which was lucky. :) I was trying to get the ball as close to the batter as I could, preferably as its being hit or just after, which is not to easy considering how fast its being thrown.

One of my favorite things to photograph is action shots. The challenge of capturing something in motion, at the right moment.
