I went to see the Mets play the Brewers yesterday, beautiful day at Shea. I was a bit worried about their camera policies (website just said "small cameras allowed") so I took my smallest lens, the 35mm prime.

Obviously no chance at stop-action shots with this lens, so I just decided to focus on the fans and take in the feeling in the stands instead, something for which the 35 is just so good :) Sort of like "Stands Photography" instead of "Street Photography".

Here are some of my favorites:

For some reason, I liked them much more in B&W. Very little processing done: just B&W conversion straight from RAW, usually with a preset red filter. Most of these never saw Photoshop.

The entire collection is here.

I find the concept interesting about the 'fan' photography.

The little guy that is usually just heard through their barking or their money jingling.

The goings on at the stadium behind the plate umpire.

Some of your photos are nice, the others, IMO, need more of a face for me to appreciate.

Good thread.

How funny. I was at Shea yesterday and took a bunch of fan shots, as well.
