I was in Tempe, AZ this weekend for spring training — and of course, photography. Following are a few pictures from the Angels games and, since I'm an Angels fan, they're all of the LAA of A. Comments welcome. And one piece of advice requested...

I was looking today at a picture in Sports Illustrated of a pitcher taken in the daytime and his face is perfectly exposed, even the shadow under the brim of the cap; and yet, there's virtually nothing blown out in the background. How do they do that?

By the way, these were taken with a 20D, Canon 10-400 lens, manual exposure.

Probably a quick mask in photoshop.
