Play Ball!

Trip to the ballpark today, to watch the Padres continue their loosing ways, falling to the Arizona Dimondbacks.

Still, great spectacle, and some good entertainment.

Everything to play for in the 9th - but it fizzled...

They're all good Chris, but the middle one is a stunner! The way the scoreboard at the top frames the shot (and with added interest). The depth is incredible, but the two people in the foreground really make it for me. I love the light and shade. I almost feel as though I am there

Yes, the second is a killer. The way the two gents walk you into the scene is wonderful. Love the third too. The net really makes it. Somehow black and white seems to suit the subject better.

Pretty good seats you had there, Chris. Lovely shots. There's nothing like an inner city ball park for that old time baseball atmosphere.

Thanks everyone

The 2nd shot was a grab on my way back from popping to the loo!

The two guys in team shirts walked in front of me, so I waited for them to drop into position, pointed and hoped at f8.

Knew it was worth taking the Fuji to the mens room!!!

Brian, with the way the Padres are playing I got great seats for peanuts!

Not much I can add to what's already been said - No 2 is a fabulous shot. I also really like the straight B&W of No 3.

Thanks Pete
