Summer Softball & Baseball

Each season has reasons why I love them.

Fall brings cool, crisp weather & football. Winter has family holidays, snow & basketball. Spring welcomes warmer weather, green & rain. But summer... oh summer means a lot of my favorite things: long days of sunlight, lake weekends, fire pits, cool summer nights, fireworks and baseball!

Baseball (and softball) might also be my favorite sport. It is definitely nice to get outside with good sunlight after months of basketball. And unfortunately I do not get many opportunities to photograph track.

So baseball is a welcomed sight for my soul and for photo opportunities! Not only is the sport itself beautiful with the green grass, sharp white foul lines & bases, it is also has unique feels to it in terms of tempo, style of play & sounds. 

For me, carrying a camera around the baseball diamond might also be the most relaxing time I have shooting. Photographing sports always makes me feel like I'm home. But something about this sport helps me really enjoy summer. 

So, enough words! I love baseball. And I love summer. Fortunately I try to squeeze in a few games to go photograph.
