Turner Field Suite....

[Ryan93se]

This was the only angle i could shoot it from.. any higher and the empty seats would be apparent and the left side of the suite was completely uninteresting... that being said this image is merged from 5 exposures to make the outside and inside exposed correctly... how could it be better? color or BW?

Maybe if you had the manager, Bobby Cox, in the image ? No, wait, as a Phillies fan I hate Bobby Cox. Forget my suggestion. LOL

I do like the image .. even if it's at the home of the team America loves to hate. *S*

Hey Ryan--

I don't have any suggestions for improvement, but after going back and forth between the two shots umpteen times, I'd have to say I prefer the color. Problem is I can't tell you why.

Thanks for showing a suite to a chick who's only ever seen Turner Field's cheap seats!

What's wrong with showing the empty seats?

I have two problems with this shot. First, it's cluttered. My eye has great difficulty separating the indoors from the outdoors. There's a huge dark area in the middle (past the display case and the chairs) where I have no idea what's there. Just above that, there's a row of what seems to be flags, but I can't tell whether they're inside or outside.

Second, I don't see a real subject. An empty luxury suite isn't very interesting to me. Even if you were trying to sell it to somebody, I'd think you would want to pose models and use a wide-angle lens to make it look spacious. I'd also be sure to include the field; after all, the people are theoretically there to watch the game.

I think you'd be better off to forget trying to capture the entire suite, and instead get a dramatic shot of some small element. For example, you could lie down on the floor and shoot up at the display case, or something.

Great HDR job, though. That suite must have been a bear, and you made it look really natural (I like the lighting on the side walls, for instance).

Finally, no opinion on color vs. B&W for this one. They both show the effort you put into getting the exposure right.

they had a problem with showing empty seats (eventhough this wasnt during game time) i dont know why. But that restricted my shooting angle to something VERY low and the way the suite is set up i could only shoot from the right hand side. With the signs in the outfield and everthing else
I also agree it is way to cluttered....im just trying to learn from the experience. thanks for the CC :)
