Game of stars... Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a football stedium in Jerusalem in a middle of a game with the local team, it is called Teddy stadium and the football team is 'Beitar Jerusalem', Beitar is the name of the club, it is known club because of the very high temparment fans.
This is the second stadium in Israel, it contains about 20000 seating places and it is standing in an international standards.

In this pictur I took light metering only from the stadium, so the whole blocks around 'vanished' and only the city lights reminded and it looks like a stars surrounding the stadium.

Very distinctive and very nicely done Elroyie. You make no mention of a tripod, so I guess the Image Stabilization paid off for you in this image, since is quite sharp. Your title and description work as well. Fine work here. Thanks.

Creative shooting and an effective result you got, Elroyie. The illuminated stadium with the people sitting on the grandstand is clearly identifiable, while the city lights arround indeed look like randomly distributed stars. Nice one.

Great idea to handle the lihghting this way, Elroyie. It seems like the stadium has ascended and is floating thru the night sky, taking the players and spectators with him for a once in a lifetime experience. Very creative, very dreamy. Very fine job.
