Baseball

NT Team Photo – 2021/09/12.

2021, Baseball, Beyond 200 feet of My House™, Favourite, Inspiration, Kodak Portra 400, Leica M2, Leica M2-R, Portrait, Q&A, Scanner - Plustek 8200i, Sports, Teaching point, Voigtländer 35mm f/1.7 Ultron Aspherical

This season is officially history.

Speaking of which, the medium of film gives this photo a nice vintage vibe.

Lastly, I choose the skyline + clubhouse as a backdrop but I lucked out  that the field was empty and the sky was overcast (making for some gentle lighting despite it being midday).

Two photos from two halves of the very 1st inning… before the rain stopped the game.

A little story about baseball (exhibition pre-2020 game).

2019, Baseball, Beyond 200 feet of My House™, Favourite, Inspiration, Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR, Nikon D500, Portrait, Q&A, Sports

The days are already much shorter here, so most of the game was played in the dark with the field lights on.  I had to crank up the ISO to 8000 (and beyond) but most of the grain you see here was added during post-processing.
