Seattle Mariners’ Mitch Haniger tries to avoid a dousing during the celebration of the team’s 2-1 win over the Chicago White Sox in 10 innings in a baseball game Wednesday, June 12, 2024, in Seattle. Haniger drove in the winning run.
While we need to photograph and send the “regular” action as part of the game report, I’m glad anytime I can highlight nice light, details or reactions when covering baseball. Here, the photo of Mitch Haniger’s actual game-winning hit was nothing special. In this case, the reaction was what we were after.While the chosen Mariners player is getting interviewed postgame, we keep an eye on the dugout directly to our left to see if anyone picks up a Gatorade bucket to douse their teammate.
I’m always trying to find ways to make clean images out of chaos. Postgame I will sometimes choose to stay with a 70-200mm lens, keeping the shutter speed over 1/1000th, and get as low as I can. This helps maximize the amount of clean sky in the background and creates more separation than a wider 16-35mm lens. Sometimes it’s a tradeoff, and I sacrificed a nice full-body water dunk photo for the above image.
