Oriole Park at Camden Yards
I just got back from another amazing baseball trip where I was able to check off two more MLB ballparks off the list, Nationals Park in Washington D.C. and Oriole Park in Baltimore. When I visit a new baseball stadium, I look for an area high and directly behind home plate to get a nice overview photo at some point during the game using a ultra-wide or fisheye lens. One thing I'm noticing is depending on the layout of each stadium, and whether access to a location directly behind home plate is possible, some stadiums work better than others for this type of shot. Many just don't work with photos looking wonky and off-balance. Oriole Park at Camden Yards - one of the nicest stadiums I have visited by the way - really lends itself well to this wide, fisheyes overview.
This particular game was a lot of fun. After seeing my San Francisco Giants have an epic collapse and blow a 6-2 lead and lose 14-6 in Washington on Sunday, I found Monday's game in Baltimore to be a lot more enjoyable. The Orioles played long-ball, hitting 5 home runs: two in the 3rd (back-to-back) and three in the 5th (back-to-back-to-back). I had never seen anything like it.
