Little league park - 04-13-2010, 09:16 AM


As it's high season for little leaguers to be out and about I really enjoy shooting their games. Here's one with the sun playing around in the clouds. We're lucky to have a very nice baseball/softball/soccer complex here.



Saturated on purpose (parents really like the false colors for some reason). Could really use that Nikon 24mm T/S lens to straighten out those poles but I think the presence of clouds helps offset that a bit...

In fact, I just went ahead and did it. I lost a lot of image but maybe you can tell me which looks better to your eye (or anything you would have done differently).



Thanks!

Joe

I like the one with the correction (the strait poles) -- just more please image than the first.

Joe,

The straightened one seems to have lost the saturation and contrast that is present in the first one. As much as I like the straight light poles, I'm 51% on the side of the first one. My opinion could change with the added saturation and contrast. I dunno.

I like the first one still.

Can you just zoom out on the second one? [/actual comment I get at least once a week]

I like #2 slightly more. They're both very nice.

Sweet shot of the Field. I also like the 1st one. The Slanted Poles actually have my eye drawn towards the middle and towards the field.

Nice Shot. ... Definitely a great Wall Photo.
