5/14/10 - GBraves 3 - Ironpigs 0 (A Recap in Pictures)

by Dave_D on May 16, 2010 1:25 AM EDT

Of course, my wife and I got to the park after first pitch (again) and we almost missed ALL of the offense on the night as the Braves put up a 3 spot in the bottom of the first. Luckily we were standing on the concourse watching when Timmons ripped his double down the LF line to score 2. That was all the scoring we saw.

It was Jersey auction night, for the Rally foundation.

Awesome pics, as always!

Shouldn't Brent Clevlen get a shot in LF before...awww, forget it!

These are great!! Thanks for sharing, yet again. Mine from M-Braves/Chatt didn’t turn out so well…..the lighting was SO different there and I didnt’ have something adjusted well, so the night shots are a little fuzzy and grainy. Your pics are always incredible!!

Thanks. It’s tough when the sun goes down and the lights come on. Coolray field could use a few more lights for my liking, but it helps that the lights at this park are newer and thus a big brighter. My ISO (camera term) on my camera was still up in the 4000-5000 range which is high, but still salvageable. If I could, I would only go to all day games and make sure all games were played during the day when the light was better. :-)

If you say so...

not a photographer so you may be right, but to this untrained eye those night pictures are still pretty damn good.

by Mr. Sanchez on May 17, 2010 10:13 AM EDT up reply actions

Yeah, nothing I take at night looks even remotely close to that. If my ISO gets above 400 it kills the quality. But yes, all day games would be great.

Possibly, but as a reliever I feel like.

Good pictures, makes me want to go to a G-Braves game! I live so close, it’s a shame i haven’t gone to one yet.

Jason Heyward bunted once, and it ended up being a homer.

You really should go…it’s a great place to watch a game and the level of play is pretty good.

I’ll probably go soon. Is the food cheaper than at The Ted? lol just wondering.

Here? there? Where?!!
Thanks so much for posting these.

Anytime you want to go to a game and shoot and talk photography I’m up for that. :-)

I’m not sure if I’m the right person to teach a class…but I am happy to pass on anything I might know. I’ll even let you use the big 300mm f/2.8 lens! Be warned though, you should start lifting weights now to get used to it. ;-)

by Dave_D on May 17, 2010 3:00 PM EDT up reply actions

Lol, the 300 is all I ever seem to have on mine these days so I may be ok! Sucks when I need the 55, though, ‘cause I don’t have big enough pockets or a belt to have it convenient enough. Careful, I will take you up on the offer!
It’s pretty far out, but just made plans last night to go to the 7/9 game at Gwinnett, and the 7/24 one in Rome.
