color? Late-Night Ice Hockey, NYC

These days my photo opportunities only tend to come when I'm

between shifts in my hockey games. This is an outdoor rink in north

Manhattan where it can get pretty foggy, and on this particular night it

looked so cool I actually skated out during the warmup with my camera

and snapped a few from the ice. I didn't white-balance on purpose, this

is more how it looked.

Me encanta. Saludos.

Working a little on the color balance is a personal choice. I think that red could be a little more red and less brown. The atmosphere was well captured and the placement of the skaters works well.

David, the jersey was in fact an odd sort of burnt-orange color, not red. To clarify what I wrote earlier, I did do a color balance in the traditional sense, i.e. make it look like the actual scene. What I didn't do was an "auto-color" type of operation, i.e. to re-imagine the scene as if lit by neutral-white lamps.

Very special, the colors are great. Congrat. Marianne Fry

Great shot, The fog makes for somewhat of a eerie atmosphere.

Looks fun, I miss the skating and spontaneous hockey games on the frozen lake in Denver where I grew up.

 

Be Well, Happy New Year,
