Out at Home

Southwest Michigan catcher Alex Jamieson tags incoming Cedar Rapids baserunner Flint Wipke in the first inning of a game at Battle Creek on April 21, 2006. Wipke's trying to score from second on Mark Trumbo's single to left; Pat Reilly's already scored on the hit, and on deck batter Warner Madrigal's urging Wipke to slide.

=============

The strange effects partly resulted from a mis-setting, as the (Chinon Genesis) camera didn't realize I'd installed the lens extender. Over the years, I've done that a lot. In this case, though, we can blame the camera; I was fighting to get it to hold its settings, and by game's end the camera had completely failed. I'm reasonably sure the second roll I took at the game will be the last for this camera.

Sad, but not that sad. The camera served me well for a number of years, but I've got far better equipment. As I've discussed before, it took good pictures but wasn't the right camera for this photographer.

The original scan, and the rest of the roll, are on the MWLguide photo stream.
