Opening Day in Washington



Flooding out of Metro
Originally uploaded by behindthenet.

I tried something a little different with my Opening Day photos: instead of simply exporting from iPhoto to static pages on BTN, I’ve opened an account at Flickr. So clicky to check them out; you can wander through individually or even view as a slideshow.

The event itself was pretty good — no major disturbances, nothing particularly unusual. The president was mostly cheered, though there were some boos that made the people cheering get louder. Photographically, the lesson of the evening was that 4x digital zoom is simply not enough from all the way down the left field line; fortunately, my usual seats are above first base. Metro was indeed a madhouse, particularly postgame, but driving would have been far worse.

The nice part is that I have tickets for 20 more regular-season games.

  1. Nice stuff Josh, congrats on your season tickets. I myself just bought my varsity style away cap (sorry, but the red was a little too bold for me) and I’m so excited to finally have a team to call my “home team.”

    I’m curious about your flickr stuff though. Is there a direct way to upload from iPhoto to Flickr? I recently just setup a Wedding Album using an open-source photo tool that I had to hack to pieces to get it to work. Plus, I don’t have a nice way to integrate with iPhoto (which I use to manage all of my photos) I also like the captioning on your image, does Flickr provide that as well? You think you could email me with your process, because if so, I’m totally interested in Flickr. You can use the email address linked to this post. Thanks.

  2. Josh,

    Don’t know if you remember me. I’m John, from VTTKD. Had a mohawk for a while. Yes.

    Congratulations on getting engaged and such. Jess mentioned it to me.

    John

  3. Hey Josh!

    Haven’t talked to you in a few years, but I see your blog address hasn’t changed. Just thought I’d stop by and drop you a line. So hi! How’ve you been? I see you’re engaged; congratulations! Hope everything’s been going well for you lately.
