July 11th, 2023 - Major League Baseball All-Star Game 73 images Created 20 Jul 2023
Photos from the 2023 Major League Baseball All-Star Game at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, WA on July 11th, 2023.
I was assigned to the center field location on the 100 level. Unfortatuntley even with the top Nikon camera system (Nikon Z9 & 600mm f/4), it was warm enough outside that images were soft.
When shooting with a long lens such as 600mm at a long distance from center field to home plate, keep in mind that you will be shooting through a lot of atmosphere to get to your target.
I also think that some of the softness came from the lens hood getting hot causing heatwaves in the images and resulting in soft images. You know all about the heat wave if you have even been photographed on astroturf on a hot day.
In hindsight, I should have left-center field and moved down the 1st or 3rd baseline to reduce the distance.
