Nice.

I've always meant to take a pic of Wrigley, since I'm by there every other day... never got 'round to it though. This one inspires me to try harder! :)

How does it work with the rest of the field looking so dark?

Great shot... how did you edit this to create the light/dark effect?
Posted 54 months ago. ( permalink )

I used curves in photoshop to make everything darker, then I used a low opacity brush to mask out the parts I wanted lighter. Some people call this technique painting with light and it can be really effective to enhance a mood or visual style. Thanks for the great comments everybody. I'm glad that you like this one.

It's sort of lurching over to the right. Looks like the players might fall over if it goes any further.

as a sunset it doesn't cut it and i don't really care about baseball.

agree with SteveFE it tilts to the right

Nice colors, but baseball fields just aren't that dark under those lights - it'd be like playing outfield with a blindfold on.

No larger size to see if there are any saving graces.

I liked the colors here! And also the Wrigley Field recalls me of good memories. This is where I finally was able to understand this game!!

Lighting is good and overall composition is fine. I don't think it is exceptional.

Great image. I really enjoy this a lot.

On a side note, I'm heading there in a few weeks. Never been before. I take it they let you bring in cameras?

Yeah, basically anything that will fit in a 8"x12"x16" bag (I think) that isn't glass or cans should be all right. Check out cubs.com for more info.
