Fun Photo Outing - Vintage Baseball Game

Here's something the club has not done before and should be a lot of fun.   The Tennessee Association of Vintage Base Ball will bring a regulation game following the 1864 rules of play to Rocky Mount. This will be a fun outing and a unique way to practice your sports photography.  Come out and cheer on the Knoxville Holstons and the Emmett Machinists of Knoxville as they face off at Rocky Mount in Piney Flats Tennessee.

Jun 4th 11:30 am - 2:30 pm.  The game begins at noon.

Meet at Rocky Mount in Piney Flats between 11:30 and noon.

Free admission for game, donations will be accepted to support this event.

You will want to bring your long and fast lens for this event.

The game takes place on the lawn.  As in 1864, there are no bleachers or hot dog vendors.  Bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets and maybe shade umbrellas.

This professional studio light kit was designed to meet a variety of photographer needs. This three-light setup includes two AlienBees™ B800 units for the main and fill lights, each with a 13-foot heavy-duty stands. You can use the 47-inch Octabox on your main light for portraits with the Soft Silver PLM™ umbrella as your fill. The lower-powered B400 unit with the 20º honeycomb grid will work perfectly for a hair light (positioned on the 10-foot general purpose stand). Connecting just one CyberSync™ CSR Receiver to one flash unit will allow you to wirelessly fire the entire setup from camera position with the CST2 Transmitter as the remaining two flashes will fire via their built-in slave trippers.
