Here are a few images from yesterday’s late afternoon game between the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians. I always love the 4:05 start time for games, especially as we approach the height of summer when the light starts to get really nice.
Despite a Red Sox loss, there were some good moments to shoot throughout the game.

This was a tough series for the Red Sox, but there’s a long way to go this season! Here are a few edits from Sunday Night Baseball.

Yesterday was a great end to the first homestand of the Boston Red Sox season. A 4:00 PM start time against the Texas Rangers had me excited to hunt for golden light and deep shadows, and that’s what I found.
Beautiful light combined with vintage late inning dramatics from David Ortiz made for a good day of shooting all around.

We’re underway at Fenway Park for the 2013 American League Championship Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers.
Everyone always talks about the capabilities of the Detroit pitching staff, and last night was proof of why they do so. This high powered Red Sox offense was held to just one hit through nine innings, as the Tigers were won 1-0 in game one. It’s hard to win a game on one hit, and from a photo standpoint, it’s hard to make really good pictures when not much is happening. In the way of action, things were very slow last night.
Still, we’re looking to tell the story of the game and to capture the atmosphere and feel inside the stadium, so that’s what I’ve tried to post here.
Here’s hoping things go better tonight for game two! And for less TV air time for this photographer than last night.
