Inside Chase Field from Section 117, done in HDR |
What could be more American on July 4th than a
baseball game, hot dogs, beer, and fireworks? And so it was at Chase
Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks as they entertained the Colorado
Rockies.
The photo above was my view from section 117 before
the game. This is an HDR photo, or high dynamic range. My Canon 5D
Mark III (using a Tamron 28-300mm lens) has a setting that allows for three quick photos, exposure bracketed
this time at -2, 0, and +2. Then I combined them together in
Lightroom to produce the finished product. Not bad, considering I did
this hand held and not on a tripod!
It was Patrick Corbin's first start for the D'backs
since 2013. He had "Tommy John" surgery which is pretty major
work on a throwing arm. He pitched 5 solid innings and ended up with the
eventual win.
During Phoenix's hot summers, the roof of the stadium is closed. So there is mixed lighting inside. I was shooting at 1600 ISO (fairly light sensitive) hand held.
Following the D'backs 7 to 3 win, they opened up the
stadium roof so we could see the fireworks display.
The stadium lights were turned down. I shot the fireworks with NO tripod, which isn't the right way to do it, but they won't allow such devices inside a stadium. So I cranked up the ISO to 12,800, opened the aperture all the way, and hoped I'd get some useable shots.
I think I had some nice shots!
Until My Next Adventure,
(Spain, Italy/Sicily, Malta...)
See You On Down The Road!
Here are all the keeper photos!
