It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone.
~A. Bartlett Giamatti
I love baseball, too. Those clouds are awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou are killing me with this lens. That is a terrific wide angle shot.
ReplyDeleteThat lens is awesome! Further proof that a "normal" lens produces only "normal" pictures, but a JKirlin wide angle lens produces art.
ReplyDeletesusan d: Yeah..they were. The lens works better when the sky isn't a white blown out piece of shit. Ooo..did that sound angry at the sky?
ReplyDeletelaanba: I knew you'd love/hate it.
russ: Wouldn't it follow if a normal lens produces normal images that a jkirlin wide angle lens would produce jkirlin wide angle shots? I'm just glad to finally have a lens that lets my whole belly into the frame.
Thank heavens your lens does not produce wide angle JKirlin shots (that you post anyway).

The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud. - Bob Uecker
The second photo is fabulous. Great angle, clouds and all.
