Jeff,
I could have squared up the backstop shot a bit more, but it was intended to be in the scene to reveal what they use for a backstop ... just a few fence boards for a portable backstop they can throw up in a field anywhere. Also, since my goal for the shots was to hopefully emulate something actually shot from the era, some imperfection was intentional. I may go back and revisit the rotation / skew on it, but I was just tossing them up pretty quick.
My fav though is the one with the kids in the background, but the others tell their parts of the story too. Getting angles that didn't have any modern things (like lawn chairs) in the background was a bit restrictive. The cargo shorts of the kids don't give away the era, but they still show the proximity others had to the game. Of course, the boys are looking away at other things, but I still dig them in it. Also, my fav for the processing on the striker.
+1 @ the bag (#4) could be better, but this was literally the last out of the game and sadly, I didn't think about it before.
Mike,
"found files" ... that was my objective, so I truly appreciate that. Of course, the safety glasses and the "Swooosh" kinda tell on things a bit, but yes they did an amazing job with the uniforms and omg ... that baseball stitching and the bag. Anyway, I can assure you it won't be my last attendance at a vintage ballgame. They played the game in character as a Gentleman's game. Way better than watching a Civil War re-enactment, imo.
