Whew, it’s been a crazy couple of weeks. I feel like the world should slow down a bit so I can catch up! More about that in coming posts (I hope), but for now, let’s talk baseball.
At the 2012 UIL Baseball State Championships I shot six games in two days (6/6/12 and 6/7/12) at Dell Diamond in Round Rock for 1st Photo Texas/UIL. I was there for four games the first day and two games the second day, all of which were semi-finals.
It was hot and humid and sunny and rainy, seemingly all at the same time. Those long days can blur together I suppose. Since I only shot semi-final games I didn’t get to capture the huge emotional reaction to winning or losing that I would normally get shooting during the final round, but there was still plenty of action.
I moved all over the stadium – the media areas at first and third, both dugouts, the front row at the edge of the net, all areas of the concourse, the outdoor seating area of a luxury box, everywhere they would let me – to try to get a good shot and escape from the weather.
The first basemen seemed to have the most to do, almost as much as the pitcher. I ended up pointing my lens at first quite a bit. There and home plate. I caught a couple of exciting errors at home. Anyway, I’m never really sure what to say when it comes to baseball, so I’ll let my photos speak this time.

Great shot of the double slide at home base!
