Shooting Sports Like A Pro at The Reading Fightin’ Phils!
What better way to enjoy summer than spending an evening at a baseball game? And for the photo enthusiast, what better way to enjoy the game than capturing the action like the pros in the press area! We will have special access during the entire game to shoot in the private areas along the first and third base dugouts. We will also be able to shoot from a variety of locations throughout the stadium. Instructors will be there to help you capture the action with whatever gear, and whatever level of photographic knowledge you have.
We will begin with a pre-trek Zoom class a few days prior, to go over all the shooting details and settings you would use to capture the action. This will include specifics on gear choices, exposure settings, best focusing practices, anticipating the action, dealing with tricky lighting-including flicker from stadium lights, and more. This will also include detailed instruction on how to photograph fireworks.
As an added bonus, there will be a spectacular fireworks display after the game that we will photograph from a great location. Don’t miss this fun and fantastic opportunity to capture baseball images like a pro in an absolutely fun environment!
Rain date for this event will be Saturday, July 29th. A detailed informational letter will be sent to participants approximately one week prior to the trek. Note: trek ends after the fireworks display at the end of the game.
Maximum of 6 participants, so don’t wait to register. Event will likely sell out quickly!
Location: First Energy Stadium, 1900 Centre Ave, Reading, PA 19601
