Hoop and Tree (2007) Photo

Photographer’s Note

Foggy morning at a local park. No players on the court for such a cold morning... in fact, no one at the park excep me.

Great angle here. The tree in the background is perfectly situated in the frame to balance the shot AND provide perspective in the otherwise 'background free' scene. It even contributes to a nice upper-left-to-lower-right diagonal! Exposure, focus etc is all spot on. I take it that you used a wide angle lens for this shot. Just curious as to the angle. The braches on the left are very distracting and are in my view better cropped away. Otherwise perfect!

Best,
Mikkel

Hi Shane
The composition is perfect with a gret POV. The light throught the fog id also beautifull.
Nice work

Shane:
Great fog, great angle, great choice of lens, great composition. You have inspired me to post one I have that's kind of similar. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow....we'll see. Nicely done. This one's a slam dunk.

Shane, as usual I love your photography. Just curious why you didn't straighten the curves. BTw, wich you were at North. Rachel hates her science teacher. Guess she was spoiled. Would love you to check out some of my pics.

I love the angle and combination of basketball hoop (minus the players) and nature. The whiteness is striking throughout the shot.

You've got some great shots in your portfolio Shane, but if I don't watch it I'll run out of greens! I love the mist and the tree in the background although I might have cropped off the tree on the left.

Thanks
