Fort Worth Cats - 07-28-2005, 09:33 AM


I went out to the fort worth cats game last night with some other members from here. I did not get to shoot as much as I would have liked, but with a wife and a 4yr old and 2yr old what can you do? This was my first time trying to shoot baseball.

Excellent Jake.

That pitcher looked like he would break his arm didn't he?

Love your shots.

I like those shots too. Sharp and bright plus I guess you can get a lot closer to the action there. Good job!

Jake, why didn't you call me!! I would have loved to have joined you guys.

If you're going out again, let me know, this is something on my list that I'd like to do.

Looks like the lighting was pretty good for an evening game. Where did you all sit and did you have any problem getting your gear into the game?

Thanks. They let us walk all over the place as long as you dont get in someone way.

Sorry, Jerry said not to tell you that we were going j/k

We were in the cheap seats but we could move around. They let you bring any camera gear you have in I think. Some in our group had 400mm lens.
I am ready to go back without the wife and kids so I can move more, so let me know when you want to go and I am there.

uuuuummmm, Joe, You can't believe much of what the "ster sez, so watch what he tells you. Oh, OK "MOST" of his report was factual here.

Cheap night, parking-$3, Gen admin-$4, dollar hot dogs night, beer-yikes-$4.50. Lots of people working there were hoping we were from the media, they asked us a bunch.

Brian Keel got a photo job from a spectator while we were there. Bring your business cards, act like a pro.

About the only place we didn't go was out on the field.

highly recommended evening, just watch out for Jake. :D

Got it Jerry, no Jake. (grin)

I'm thinking Thursday, August 4th. Looks like they'll have some fireworks after the game which could be fun to shoot as well.

If anyone's interested, let me know.

Howdy Jake,

Really enjoyed the evening with you and your family. The kids really made the game what it's all about.

Really spooky pic of the pitcher, it makes my shoulder hurt.

Both of the pics are tack sharp and really well exposed.

Take care,

Thank Nancy! The boys are a blast, but it's hard to take pics and keep a eye on them at the same time. They had a lot of fun to and Ethan was asleep before we got to highway.

Another vote here for another night out. I'd love to have someone show me the ropes of shooting baseball.
