MLB - White Sox at Mariners, Aug 11, 2009

[cstewart]

I had the opportunity this week to shoot my first ever MLB game at Safeco Field in Seattle when the White Sox were in town. Seats were a "photo fan" dream, two rows above 3rd base photo well and on same angle to the plate from the well with no obstructions! Shot the game with my 70-200f2.8 with the 1.4 TC on it (no issues at all bringing this in..no monopod however). ISOs are high (1600 and 3200) to keep shutter high given the f4.0-4.5 I had to work with with TC on. Some samples are below. Full set of 130 or so images including White Sox BP and warm up can be found at www.cjscons.com/mariners/aug11 C&C appreciated.

Yuri:

Nope...only 9. Tuesday night...Ramirez hit a 3 run homer in top of 9th and Sox won 3-1. I think the 15 inning was Wednesday's game.
