I shot this photo on 5/4/2015 at AT&T Park. It is interesting to see how these professionals are marking the foul line and batter’s box. Precision is important in drawing the 2 batter’s boxes. We know if the batter is not in the correct position in the box, he will be out.

In life, there are lessons we can learn about staying within the boundaries of our batter’s box. Our desire to hit a home run should overrule our rebellious spirit to step out of the box.

Do we have a clear picture of the goals in our life? Do we want to hit a series of home runs in life to succeed? If we have honorable goals, let’s live according to the batter’s box regulations to hit a series of home runs.

Photos remind us of valuable lessons!

Welcome to the upper deck down the left field line at AT&T Park. This photograph was taken in April 2016. The ballpark’s name has been changed to Oracle Park.

There is nothing like standing on the top and looking at the view of the whole ballpark! I do have a fear of heights, so I have to be careful walking around and looking down.

Looking down, we get a perfect view of the entire field and stadium. We can see the San Francisco Bay. We get a good view of the bulk of the seats in the ballpark. So there is an advantage to being up high to see the panoramic view below. Being high (physically) is always a good location for photography.

Finding the ideal location to take good photos can be like hunting for treasure. A good photographer’s goal is to showcase a scene at it’s best. The scene can look better in a photo, than when you actually look at the scene in reality.

My goal will be to see how I can show off AT&T Park now known as Oracle Park at it’s best! I am excited to be going to the San Francisco Giants Home Opening game. So stay tuned to see the stadium art at Oracle Park.

As a photographer, I have a fascination with lights. Perfect lighting can provide the necessary factor for a great photo.

I went to the lower box seats down the right field line at AT&T Park (Oracle Park) to be under the LED advertisement signs. I used my wide angle zoom lens to get up close to the lights for the photos.

When we are in our seats looking at the ads, we see the entirety of the image and words projected.

The above photos shows how the individual LED lights and colors are put together for the advertisement image.

We do not usually think about how the individual lights contribute to the final outcome.

The same is true in life. How do we as individuals contribute to reach an (hopefully good) outcome? Do I have a light which contributes to a good purpose in life?

Here are some photographs of AT&T Park from 3 different games.

As is my practice, I arrived early and roamed about the stadium looking for different views of the stadium.

I love going to the top and shooting the entire stadium! It is nice to see the view down to the Bay and the entirety of the ballpark.

I also shot from the left side from the bleacher area.

You can see this is the old scoreboard at AT&T Park. I am going to the SF Giants Home Opening Day on April 5, 2019. I will be shooting the new scoreboard which is 3 times larger than this old one.

I am looking forward to seeing this new scoreboard! Bigger will be better.

The view from the top will be the same. But with the bigger scoreboard, it will be easier to see from the top of the stadium.

Stay tuned to see my photos from the new Oracle Park! Hopefully the new name will eventually grow on me.
