On a hot summer night, nothing beats a Minor League ballgame. Tickets for the New Britain RockCats--a farm club for the Minnesota Twins--are still just $5 for general admission. You're close enough to the field to hear the crack of the bat, the smack of the ball in the catcher's mitt, the calls of the umps. With my trusty little P&S, I was able to grab this shot of the opposing team's batter smacking a single. Using Half-Tone Pattern makes it look like a newspaper photo.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
Wow, that little P & S camera does a great job!!!
