A Night At The Ballpark

Spend an evening at ShoreTown Ballpark, home of the Jersey Shore BlueClaws, with Sony Alpha and Focus Camera for a hands-on photography experience built around live baseball action. Participants can shoot from a luxury suite, designated vantage points, and other approved areas to capture players, fans, and the stadium atmosphere while trying out the latest Sony cameras and lenses. Sony Imaging Specialist Jason Etzel and the Sony team will share practical sports techniques on focus settings, exposure, timing, positioning, and anticipating peak moments. Registered attendees will receive a BlueClaws game ticket by email that is required for entry. Check in takes place at the suite with the Focus Camera and Sony teams, where a limited pool of Sony loaner gear will be available. Availability is not guaranteed, so bringing personal equipment is recommended. Camera gear is permitted inside the ballpark. A limited number of early arrivals may be selected for pre game field access for special photo opportunities. Attendees are invited to share favorite images from the event on Instagram for chances to be featured and to win prizes. Post and tag @FocusCamera and @FocusLakewood for a chance to win a Focus Camera gift card, with selected images appearing on Focus Camera social channels. Another opportunity encourages sharing with tags @FocusCamera and @SonyAlpha and the hashtag #BlueClaws for potential features and special prizes. To borrow Sony equipment, a valid photo ID and a credit card are required. By attending, participants consent to being photographed and recorded, and agree that photos and video captured during the event may be used by Sony and Focus Camera for promotional purposes.
