I have been covering a few Los Angeles Angel’s games a month and was really excited when I heard Albert Pujols was going to join the roster. Unfortunately, it has been one of his worst seasons, but he is still a big media magnet. Well the Angel’s haven’ been able to catch up with the Rangers recently but were able to pull off some good games with the Kansas City Royals. Here are a few shots of the different games I have covered of these two games during this season.

Sunglasses and reflections are the best thing about day games, here is a shot of Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas (8) during a break in play.

I decided to get some different shots of the stadium and during the game so I went up to the upper deck to get a few unique angles. It came out wonderfully. Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson (33) warms up on the mound before the first inning.

And one of the other side, Kansas City Royals pitcher Bruce Chen (52) pitches during the first inning.

I have a whole system worked out to make my workflow a little easier during the games as well as allowing me to get a little more creative during the games. I decided to move every single inning, not really hunting for a single shot but going with the flow. After I was at the top of the stadium, I then went down to shot behind home plate. You can get a few good shots on the field, but this is mostly to shoot the pitchers head on. Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson (33) pitches.
