[Leica] Memories from the days of summer

Nice catch Adam, the only question for me is if maybe the sky tone is a
little bit unnatural cast..., but I was not there. Anyway, exposure seems
perfect.

Saludos cordiales

Asunto: [Leica] Memories from the days of summer

Summer has passed. Minor league baseball has ended. Here in Sacramento our
AAA River Cats won the triple A championship!

This image, made by a Leica M8 and 35mm Sumicron. I believe this is a good
showcase for the M8's dynamic range.

Just a note, the batter is Jeremy Brown who doubled. Jeremy Brown is one of
the players featured in the book "Money Ball". Only days before he had been
dropped from the Oakland A's 40 man roster -- essentially meaning that the
team had given up on his developing into either a major league catcher or
having trade value. He cleared waivers when any team could have claimed him
and continued to play, and contribute, for the River Cats through the rest
of the season. His problem? He's not very fast.

Thanks for looking!

Adam
