Baseball Spirit Photo

Photographer’s Note

Japanese baseball fans have a lot of spirit! Often each team will have sections of devoted fans who bring their own instruments(drums, horns, etc) and cheer their team on. It is quite a sight.

This is a Buffalo fan from the Buffalos versus Marines game. I don't particularly like baseball, but if in Japan , it is worth seeing if only for the energetic fans!

I like this, but i would have been tempted to have used a higher apperture to concentrate on the man with the trumpet and blur out the others, but saying that i notcied the camera settings and am guessing that f5.6 is the maximum on your lens, right? If so may i suggest the 50mm f1.8 lens as your next purchase!

Thanks

Pitty not to have known about this passion when I went there last summer, I would have liked to see something like this. I´m not very much a sport person, so, and I´m sorry if I hurt somebody, when I see thinks like this I feel like visiting kind of human Zoo.
Very nice moment you´ve taken here Christina.

Hi Christina,
Like the shot of emotions and colours, the horns and drumbeats.
The atmosphere is electrifying.
Great shot.
greetings from India,
