Next time the All-Star Game heads to Baltimore, perhaps they'll be seeking this shot!

I think if you got that shot at night/twilight again, with people filling up the stands, then you're golden. IMO, not as impressive as the PNC one, and those are the qualities that put you over the top. I think there's something psychological about an empty versus full stadium.

Thanks Alan citing my shot of Camden Yards. I'll be watching for your shot in the pubs you mentioned.

I agree that a full house adds to most stadium shots. Normally I'd say the same for a twilight/night shot but, IMHO, the sky in this one was pretty cool and added to the impact of the shot. Unfortunately I don't have access to the Press Box during games, just during the early afternoon ballpark tour.

I have a feeling I'll remember to post a reminder... not to mention a reminder to everyone I've ever met since kindergarten! :)

Just got a few tidbits of new news... the full-page ad in USA Today will appear on Tuesday, July 11 (the date of the All-Star Game)... and the full-page ad in Sports Illustrated will appear in a double-issue due to hit stands around July 3.

ALSO... I just got a message that Chevy wants to use the shot in TV commercial! They want to use it in an ad that will run on ESPN and FOX and will run a total of 10 months!

Wow Alan that is great news! Congratulations! I must say that I have taken shots of things I normally would not have taken thanks to the challenges on this site. Helps keep your imagination in overdrive.

Yeesh, haven't even been following my own thread -- thought it had died before this :)

The shot will comfortably pay for our summer vacation. I gave them a price, and they actually offered more than what I asked, so I undoubtedly could have gotten much more for it. My wife's exact words were "don't get greedy."

I'm much more excited about the opportunity to be published in these high-profile places than I am about getting a check, to be honest!

I'll definitely let everyone know when to watch for it!

Thanks for sharing your excitement with us! It's fun knowing that someone we know is doing so well. What a great feather in your cap! It will be great to follow this photo through to when it comes out with all the publishing. I hope you make a bundle for it!

You should get AT LEAST 5K. 50,000 brochures and a full page ad in two of the most read magazines/newspapers in the country? I would say start high, at say, 10k, and see if they take it (I think they will). If they dont then you work your way down a little, but if they do.....well think of all the new lenses you could buy : )

Let us know how it works out.
