learning to use a camera...

I'm not a photographer by any means. before a couple years ago, I mostly used Polaroids and disposable cameras. but after getting a couple bad digital cameras, I invested in an okay Canon one and proceeded to try and learn how to take pictures. I ended up falling in love with taking pictures and taking pictures of baseball seemed like a good next step, so I gave it a try. I posted a lot of (but not all, I took A LOT) of my pictures from the '05 and '06 seasons at flickr and if you'd like to view them, I'm posting the link here. :)

they were not edited/retouched or cropped or watermarked or anything. just as is. but if for some weird reason you want to use one, just ask and I'd be happy to let you, with credit. :) just please don't steal or use them without asking, thank you.

my favourites are the interleague pictures from San Diego. Ron Flores batting really was a picture taking moment haha.

unfortunately, my camera was stolen :( so I'm no longer able to take pictures until I can save up for a replacement someday. I feel like I'm missing an extension of my limb without my camera at the end of my right hand, so it was a tough break. anyway, hope someone enjoys the pictures! they aren't really reflective of my favourite players (Bradley, Ellis, etc) but more so the taste of my friends who ask for pictures.

if anyone wants to use this diary to post pictures or links to their own baseball photography, that'd be cool, too! :)

Great photos

Thanks for sharing!  I also really liked the ones from the Padres game.  I've been rooting for Flores to succeed and I was so excited for him with that game.

thanks!!

I have lots of other Bobby ones on there somewhere, too. he photographs well and I can usually get some of him because I sit on the 3rd base side so Chavez/Crosby are a lot easier to get than Ellis/whoever is playing 1st, usually. glad you liked that one :)
