I was lucky enough to be asked to shoot a Cubs' game last week which turned out to be the first ever Friday night game at Wrigley Field. I knew that the sun was setting slight after 7 pm and I also knew that both starting pitchers were right handed. I had to make a choice, either shoot the pitchers from third base or shoot from first base and try and make a sunset photo. The clouds and the sun cooperated that evening and gave a nice but brief show. This photo was published in the Perspective column in the print edtion of the Daily Herald.
