Safeco Field Tour
Safeco Field in Seattle, WA runs a great public tour throughout the Mariner’s ballpark. Last week, I took my Nikon D800 to the stadium to take some behind the scenes shots of America’s pastime. The Safeco tour takes visitors through the locker rooms, dugouts, press box, Diamond Club, owner’s suite and TV interview area. If you ever get a chance to take a stadium tour, you should do it. Cameras are encouraged and the access to the stadium is great.
Here are a few of the pics from the day.

Seattle and Safeco Field
Took a trip to Seattle today on the Bremerton – Seattle ferry. Had a great time with a Nikon D700 and a few lenses while taking a group tour of the Seattle Mariner’s stadium. Walking the streets was fun and capturing the iconic city locations from different perspectives was a great challenge. Here are some pics.
