Back at it last night for the start of a long post All-Star break homestand. The Orioles started it off with a loss to the Indians. 

There wasn’t much action to shoot throughout this game, but I did manage to make a few good frames. I also used my own Canon 7D as my primary camera last night. That’s what happens when you forget to bring your other camera’s charger up from the pit and it sits outside for two weeks. The Mark II’s batteries were dead, and water-logged chargers don’t work so well, so I’ve switched temporarily to my own body until our new charger arrives. 

It’s funny how my 7D seems so slow after using the Mark II so much.
