"Center fielder Carlos Gonzalez #5 of the Colorado Rockies goes airborne to make a catch off the bat of Jhonny Peralta #27 of the Detroit Tigers for the second out of the eighth inning at Coors Field on June 18, 2011 in Denver, Colorado. The Rockies defeated the Tigers 5-4."
Baseball requires lots of patience. Sometimes you can go a whole game, series or even week without getting the opportunity to photograph some good action.
Such was the case most of Saturday night against the Tigers. Despite shooting a few plays at home plate, most of the game was boring from a photographic standpoint.
Thankfully "Car Go" saved my evening with the above image in the eighth inning. Both of his feet are airborne, the ball is in the perfect spot and I couldn't have asked for a cleaner background.
It's interesting how one image can impact my thoughts on my performance at a particular assignment and this one definitely did.
