September 25, 2009 - Yankee Stadium

Yankee-Stadium-Main-Entrance-HDR-Color-Final.jpg

The new Yankee Stadium. It's a hell of a building. Should be for $1.5 billion. This is part of the images set that I gave to Mike Rajendran and Joanna Rothchild, the couple that had asked for my creative services at their recent wedding. The building is a bit funny in that the straight-on view of this entrance doesn't yield a perfectly symmetrical result as one would expect. This is a 5-shot HDR, with the vertical and horizontal lines straightened to present a more orderly architectural image. Yeah, it's still just a smidge off. Sorry. Lots else to do...

September 20, 2009 - Yankee Stadium Wedding 2

So despite the phenomenal fee that the Yankees charge for a wedding to take place there, they wouldn't let anyone on the field. The best they could do is allow some photographs to be taken from behind home plate. Initially, they weren't even going to let the photographers on the field - we were going to have to shoot from the stands behind the screen. Fortunately, we did get a minute on the grass behind home plate. And by a minute I mean quite literally a minute, so working quickly I took a few dozen images, 7 of which composed this HDR. It was harder than I was thinking it would be to find creative compositions like under the time constraints of a wedding, but I did get to put together about a dozen very interesting shots like this that the bride and groom (Yankee fanatics), were quite pleased with.
