the feels of a professional sports photographer

Today was a good day.

Todays trip to the Nationals and Red Sox game at the Ballpark of the Palm  Beaches was one to remember to say the least. 

The day started by getting official media passes from the media office on the Nationals side of the ballpark. When I say official, I mean official. They had our pictures on them and everything. 

Inside the complex, it came to our knowledge that we had field access for pregame and batting practice. For someone such as myself, that was a great experience. I was able to get close to the players and get some great pictures of them preparing for the game. 

The real taste of professionalism came to fruition when we found out we had access to the camera wells in the dugouts.

The atmosphere was nothing short of amazing. Being next to professional photographers, being able to speak with them and receive advice from the people who photograph baseball for a living was a great way to see where I am and what I need to work on. 

From a fans point of view in this situation, being so close to all these players that you watch on television and see make amazing plays, was something from a dream. At one point, Bryce Harper walked right passed me after the inning ended, it was surreal. 

The entire day was an eye-opening experience into the day in the life of a professional sports photographer, and I am super jazzed to get better at my craft.

Today was a good day.
