20060420 /Lighting Up the Cheap Seats

Oakland Coliseum / Oakland, CA

This is another shot from the cheap seats at yesterday's 11-4 mauling of the A's
by the Tigers at the Coliseum in Oakland. Earlier today, the Motor City Kitties
roared back in the ninth to take two out of three with a 4-3 tally.

The Tigers are playing a lot better on the road at the
moment than they are at home, Comerica Park in Detroit.
Check out jude's shot's too.

Nikon D70
1/200s f/7.1 at 18.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Chris Shelton, man. Pirates let him go in the rule 5 draft b/c they couldn't find room for him and they are prob kicking themselves now! ;) My first thought when seeing this, as has already been mentioned, is I love how you've captured the two individuals shielding their eyes. And love how the light and tones are captured on the few individuals in front of you, particularly that of the lady's jacket/top located bottom right.

if I was there I probably wouldn't have a clue what was going on but the atmosphere looks really great Chris.

I agree with Craig, in fact!
Guest 21-Apr-2006 03:27
Wow! What a light, Chris. And I really love this scene. So typically north America...

looks like the hand of God reaching down to bless the game. :) Vote.

Absolutely classic. Why? The blast of sunlight and . . . the two people shielding their eyes. Perfect. :-)

The rays are gorgeous and they seem to be continuing on to pattern the field.
Maybe the light is the god of tigers? :D
