Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken Feb. 13, 2013, at the Baltimore Orioles’ spring training complex in Sarasota, Florida.

Time

It was around 10 a.m., during the team’s first day of spring training camp.

Lighting

It was a nice, cloudless morning in Florida.

Equipment

Canon Ti1, hand-held, 800 ISO, 1/2000 shutter speed, 500mm lens.

Inspiration

I love shooting the things people might normally not notice. This was shot through a dark green chain-link fence (you can see the pattern in the dark areas of the image. I like the added texture).

Editing

Not a lot. A little unsharpen mask, boosted the color intensity a bit. This is basically right out of the camera.

In my camera bag

Two Canon bodies, fixed 18mm, 18-135 mm zoom, flash, audio equipment.

Feedback

Be patient. Look for the details. Practice your timing. I didn’t shoot this with a burst... I shot one at a time to get the ball in the right position and in focus.
