... to the ball game.

Checked out the new Minor league farm team called the Maryland Blue Crabs this evening after the long trek through DC. I'm beat.

Brand new stadium with an old style feel to it. So I thought I'd do it justice by giving the image the once over in Photoshop to give it a rustic, it's been in the sock drawer for years, look.

Not sure if we won tonight, played against the Lancaster Barnstormers, I know we won the previous night, but I was so pooped from the miles of pavement in town that it was tough to stay awake. And those damn minor leaguers sure can play. Took a solid 2.5 hours just to get to the top of the 5th. Sheeeew.

I LOVE the mood of this. Great addition of nostalgia to this through angle, lighting, tint, and added texture. :thumbsup: :D

:D If scientists were ever going to figure out how to travel through time, wouldn’t we now be seeing people from the future?

Very cool!
Isn't this the team that has Brooks Robinson as part owner with the Ripkens?

No, not that I know of. Cal's team is up in the Baltimore area I'm pretty sure. Can't recall the name of it. Nice stadium they got though. :) Then again, as I have no real idea, it may very well be.

I'm glad you like the image. Only one from the game I liked enough to mess with. Hard to get a good night shot from that distance with the equipment I have.

I like the 'rustic' you gave to this picture, it seems a back in time. ;-)

Thank you, I'm not real keen on it either, but out of all the summer sports, I prefer it. Glad you liked it.

Thank you, did the best I could with the tools at hand...my brain, and unfortunately, it lacks :)
