April 7, 2013 - Padres at Rockies

Sunday I went a little rogue in my coverage of the Rockies game. I shot up high to check out the new angles then stayed up on the concourse from the end of the game. I made some different pictures for me, which was good to try when the matchup isn't particularly compelling. The Rockies had mostly bench players int he lineup and the Padres are a AAA team with a few exceptions. All photos copyright Getty Images 2013.

April 6, 2013 - Padres at Rockies

 

The Rockies rolled through their home-opening-weekend against the Padres and I was called to capture it. The game went fine for the Rockies and for me, with most of the props due to my new camera body that just nails focus for me, making my job easy (first time I've had one that works this well.).

January 22, 2013 - Kings at Avalanche

The Colorado Avalanche are at .500 with 46 games to play .... seriously. All joking aside, once the puck dropped last night it didn't really feel like there had been a 113-day lockout. It also didn't feel like opening night. The players and the venue were working out their kinks, as was I. Hockey takes a couple of games for me to warm up, but overall I'm happy with the 71 images I filed. Need to make some adjustments to white balance and my post-processing, and I need to remember to replace the plastic cutout at the shooting hole at the end of the period/game, but these things will come next time. Avalanche beat the Stanley-cup-defending L.A. Kings 3-1 only after a 3-goal third period.

April 1, 2011 - Opening Day - Diamondbacks at Rockies

Perfect day at the ballpark, besides the 11th inning loss. Cargo and Tulo were awarded their gold gloves and silver sluggers, and the light was fun to play with after months indoors. The game included a nice little collision at home plate between Justin Upton and Chris Iannetta. Rockies are off to a great start despite the loss.

April 9, 2010 - Opening Day / Padres at Rockies

Opening day at Coors. This is a drinking event in Denver. The fans got what they would have hoped for in the win, and as a bonus, a surprising and awesome performance from the pitching staff. De La Rosa, Betancourt, and Rogers combined for a two-hit shutout. It was great to see the look on Esmil Rogers' face after he retired Adrian Gonzalez in the top of the 9th with a strikeout.

The Rockies beat the Padres 7-0 in the Coors Field home opener. De La Rosa struck out 9 in seven shutout innings to set a Rockies home opener strikeout record.


Esmil Rogers worked a 1-2-3 9th inning. Not a lot of pressure with the 7-0 lead, but a nice showing regardless.

Tulowitzki.

Car-go fast. Hitting .450 at this point and looking cool doing it.

Adrian Gonzalez looks frustrated after his first of 3 K's on the day.

Tulo doing a teammate a favor by signaling that a throw is coming to the plate. Didn't matter...
