A few photos from Reds vs Marlins on 4/18/13

I took my camera down to the game last night for Cingrani vs Fernandez.

If you aren't a photographer, skip over this next line: For night games, I could really use the 70-200 2.8..... shooting at 1/1250 to freeze action and ISO 800-1200 makes things difficult even with the lights.

Tony Cingrani's first pitch as a starter in the big leagues

Some very good pictures, doug. Particularly like the second one of Cingrani (windup) and the one of Mesoraco swinging.

Really nice pics!! :thumbup:

Cingrani looks like an early 1900s pitcher in those pics with his oversized uniform and socks showing.

Fernandez is really cheating on his stride, well off the rubber and not even close to releasing the ball.

In comparison, Chapman at a similar point:
