On deck

"Maicer Izturis #13 of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim warms up before leading off against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on September 17, 2011 in Baltimore, Maryland. The Baltimore Orioles won, 6-2."

Another baseball game, another lead off photo.

I couldn't pass up not taking a photo with the ominous clouds. The only downside was that the game was delayed about 15 minutes because of an umpire injury, so I worked the scene while the player had his helmet off. Minutes later, the sky was completely black.

The bright red helmet would have added another layer of color and make it pop a bit more.

Alas, documenting what's happening in front of you is what it is.
