The Last Game

Seems like a deserted pool hall, a ghost town? The dust settled on

the pool table and the room is locked away just to be seen from the

outside glass windows in Bodie State Historic Park. If walls could

talk perhaps you can ehar the chatter of people from way back then.

 

This time the Sony F717 performed even better then the Nikon D70.

With it's swivel lenses I am able to position lens directly on the

glass window and use both my hands to block all distracting light to

get this clear picture through the badly stained glass window.

Well done... it does seem to be taken from within the room.

what a place! Didn't know until now that dust can do such a nice patina..

B & W would really set the mood for this one.

Yes Malcolm, the Sony F717 does have it's strong points. Andrea, wait till you get there. Lot's more to be seen than this.

 

B/W? Bradley? Hmmmm....I thought the colors are muted enough. I'll try to insert one to see if there's a difference.

 

Thanks everyone for your comments.

I like this image, Alec. It seems so bright though. I imaged places like this as being rather drab and dark.

Beautiful shot Alec. I can`t tell that you shot thru a window pane. I think I would kill for that billiard table. Shot deserves a 7/7. regards, Jim.

Bradley, I'm SURE b/w would spoil the special character of this picture!

Thanks Pete. It's actually quite dark and dirty looking through the window. The Zeiss lens really works well here to capture the details - even through the glass window.

 

Jim, I'm humbled, it's an honor coming from a great photographer like you. Thank you.
