Basketball Gym with light projected on the wall

MikeFairbanks · 6th of December 2009 (Sun)

I'm not sure what I think of this. It's for my church's basketball program, and they usually want as many photos as they can get for the end-of-season slide show on the large screen.

Anyway, messed with it a bit. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

I like this shot.

I like it. Maybe straighten the horizon line?

Horizon line is fine on the subject (look at the basket and back board). I don't think it would look right with them tilted. Some correction for the wide lens may make it better.

That said, that is one very strange looking wall. What's with the odd patchwork? And you just don't see motar lines that go through in a straight line like that. Very odd.

I never thought about the structure of the wall. The building is relatively new. It's a community center built by the church and opened a year ago.

I just wanted to get a shot of the light projected on the wall with the backboard included.

Thanks for the compliments. I haven't had much success lately with my photography. I'm not trying to take it past the amateur level, but still....I'd like to get good at it someday.

After looking at it for awhile, it almost looks like it was a wall with pillars between large openings and they filled in the openings.

Really odd looking. It makes me wonder if the whole wall is that way.
