Random pictures from Sunday's AWESOME game

[siuc1996]

Hey guys, not sure if these belong here or if they should go in the Game Threads so please forgive me if I'm wrong. But I wanted to just share some images I took at the game. We were in section 215. The day could not have been better. I just wish all Cubs fans the world over could have been there to soak it all in. The place was so incredible. I can't even imagine what it would be like if we can wrap up this thing this week.

Freezing the pitch. Looks like a strike to me.

Lou getting the ball tossed to him by the ump after he argued with him. Very funny. Lou still has those quick hands.

The exact moment the 4 run inning by the Braves was posted and the place went crazy with the tomahawk chop.

A clickable image that gives you a great image of what Wrigley felt like. What a perfect day.

Hope you all enjoy these. Like I said, I apologize if these should be in a game thread instead of here. Just thought I would try to share the Cub joy with everyone. :lol:

Those were great, Thanks!

[Omar]

nice pics!

 

Great camera and angles.

[CubmanPi]

It's threads like this which renew my hatred for this base's policy of blocking photobucket :x

 

Thanks anyway though, I'm sure they look nice.

[CubinNY]

I just uploaded the last pic for my desktop.

You may want to try that picture again. Photobucket resized it smaller for some reason but I put the bigger image back out there. :D

 

Thanks for all the compliments! I'm still riding high after yesterday's game.

Great pics. Love the shot of the bleachers.

Those are great pics. I really like the rapid fire shot of Z.

That one is much better. You have a lot talent for taking pictures or a really good camera, or perhaps both. Thanks

[CuseCubFan69]

What kind of camera did you use for those shots?

This one is really awesome. Especially since it's got _______ ____ in it.

[Twiggy]

Those are some damn nice pics. What camera and lens are you using?

[CuseCubFan69]

If that ball was over the plate it's no small wonder pitchers give up so many HR's and walks. I hate this arbitrary strike zone.

[siuc1996]

What kind of camera did you use for those shots?

 

I use the Canon S3 IS. Has an optical 12X zoom which makes all the difference in the world. I love it.

Those are really nice shots. The rapid fire on my camera (I forget what kind it is) doesn't shoot as quickly as yours seemed to. I would only get 2 or 3 pictures in Z's windup. Thanks for the alternate!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

nice pics

[Twiggy]

Are you using any different lenses or camera settings for those pictures? I'd like to pick up a camera for games and that has a nice zoom on it like that.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Great pics!

No special lens at all. Just the camera as it comes out of the box.

Yeah, I have a Continuous setting and then a Hi-Continuous setting so I tried the latter and it seemed to be clicking off pretty quickly. Hardest part was getting is all lined up in Paint Shop Pro. lol

 

I can't recommend this camera enough. I think there is another version out, maybe S4 or S5 that has more pixels (mine has 5 megapixels). But for the money, this camera really rocks. It takes great video too and I got a little bit of the celebration afterwards but you can hear me singing Go Cubs Go in the background. I really don't think anyone should have to suffer through that so it will remain locked in my computer. :oops:

The ump is surreptitiously feeling up Soto's lat, and who can blame him.

 

Great pics siuc! Thanks for taking the time to share. That Wrigley wide angle shot is now my laptop's desktop.

Great pics Dawg.

[Coach C]

Unbelieveable photos. They're very sharp.
