Going Wide @ The Ballpark

[Craig]

Just sharing a few from the ballpark taken with my Sigma 8-16.  I'm really enjoying this lens, just wish I could find more time to use it.  I'm off to work right now, but hope to be around this weekend.








Thanks for looking.  C&C always welcome.

Could never figure oud how these teams make money with 40% of the seats MT for most of the season. Great use of the WIDE ANGLE lens Craig. JIM

Cool shots!  I like the POV of the last one - it looks like you are hovering over the top of the fans in the last row.

Very nice, Craig. Haven't been to the new stadium. Looks kind of weird from the outside to me, with that open end, but now I realize it is for a vew of the Arch. Cool.

Mike & Frank,  Thanks for the comments guys.  That is one of my favorites as well.  I was leaning over the rail to get this one, with the camera tilted quite a bit.  The distortion is heavy as a result.

Thanks Jim.  The first two were taken about an hour before the game started.  Very seldom is Busch Stadium 40% empty.  This was a standing room only game with a pre-game ceremony to retire Whitey Hezog'z number.  He was inducted into the Hall Of Fame earlier in the week.  One of the best managers the club has ever had.

Thanks Ron.  The new stadium is ok, but I still like the old stadium better.  Lots of childhood memories at the old Busch Stadium, including the 1980 Superjam.  What a show!

There were very few people who got there as early as we did.  Dad and I wanted to beat the traffic, get good parking, and make sure we recieved our Whitey Herzog bobble head.    I don't care for booble heads, but hey, they were free, and they may be a collectors item one day.
