Behind the lens at Stephen Strasburg's debut

Staff photographer Jonathan Newton received dozens of e-mails about his photograph of Stephen Strasburg that ran on the front page of Wednesday's Sports section. Newton was positioned in the photographers section next to the visitors' dugout along the third base line at Nationals Park. Here's how he shot the picture.

I have attempted similar shots, but not to that level of success. Great job adding life to an otherwise common image.

Pretty cool shot
