Turner Field, Home of the Braves

This will be a moderately lengthy blog post using Flick’r blog feature. I’ve been trying out 500px.com’s photo service and comparing to to Flickr. I’m using one very significant feature that Flickr has that I haven’t seen in any other photos sites, which is a one-click blog posting action where I click the blog button, type a bunch of mumbo-jumbo and it posts straight to the blog. Pretty nifty.

That aside, this is what you’re greeted to when you enter Turner Field from the parking lots. The sun was on the other side of the building, meaning the side of the building you’re seeing was in shadow.

Turner Field Pano

Be sure to click the photo to view it Larger on Flickr.

This was my first visit to Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves, so that means me running around with my camera, traveling to different decks to get different views, and getting my obligatory panorama shot of the massive structures.

Our seats were behind the visitor’s dugout (we splurge on vacation trips sometimes), so I traveled up to the top deck to get a great view of the whole stadium, which is where my Aunt/Uncle and their daughter and her son were sitting for the game. And this is the view.

I’ll be posting a synopsis and recap of our two baseball games there soon, as well as some photographs of the players in action and walking to dugouts, etc. So for now, soak in the great view of Turner Field. I was honestly impressed by the stadium overall, as well as the steady crowds that frequent it.

James Loney

Interesting thought: James Loney is a lefty at both throwing and batting, yet he signs autographs with his right hand. I know it’s tough for lefties in such a right-handed world; and I’ve heard of other “lefties” being somewhat ambidextrous throughout their life. Writes left, but kicks right? Etc, etc.

Anyone else like this? Similar stories?
