The Fastball

There are few things harder to do in professional sports than throw or hit a fastball. The ball is traveling over 90 miles an hour. It is also very difficult to photograph especially from the stands with a hand held camera. Professional photographers on the field are much closer and have tripods to steady the camera and even then it is not so easy.

This was taken from the stands at Fenway Park with a 300mm hand held lens at 3200 ISO. It was shot at f8 with a shutter speed of 1/300th of a second. It turned into a single by the Red Sox hitter.

Big Poppi Bunts?

A few weeks ago my nephew took me to my first game at Boston’s legendary Fenway Park. As David Ortiz took the plate I watched in fascination as the infield shifted so far to the right that the third baseman was almost to second base. My nephew said, “If only he could bunt!”

As if on cue, Big Poppie showed bunt. Sigh, yah if only he could.

Zombie Nights

Kennedy Space Center

I have spent a lot of time in Florida. My parents lived there for a while and we have life long friends in Tampa. We went to Disneyworld as young married adults and returned four times with our daughter. We have visited the Florida Keys, Universal Studios and I remember once a lion climbing on my dad’s car when we went to Lion Country Safari. In all those visits we had never been to The Kennedy Space Center.

This year we finally made it and it was worth the wait. The place is huge and the bus tour takes you right out to the launch pads and next to the Vehicle Assembly Building . The size of everything is gigantic and standing next to the even the smaller rockets is breathtaking. If you haven’t visited it is a wonderful day when visiting Florida.

Big Blue

The Blue Heron is a beautiful fisher bird that migrates to Florida and other southern states during the winter. There is something about this particular one that made me think that this bird knew exactly how pretty it was. The bird kept turning as we walked along a boardwalk almost as if posing for a photograph.
