Fisheye Football
previous / nextThis is a high school football game I stumbled upon on my way out of the city after shooting all the photos in the Jersey City series. I had to stand on a block that just happened to be there and shoot through an iron railing. This was the best perspective I could get in among the people that were standing along the railing with me. I have to say that I thought it was a great way to end the day and the series.
This is the final shot in the Jersey City series. I know it was a very long series. I pre-posted all of the shots in this series because September and October tend to be very busy months for me. I have a lot of shots that I've taken over the period of time that this series ran and it will be interesting to pick out which ones to post as the backlog of images grows and grows.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers.

wow! comme c'est beau!
Superbe et impressionnant, excellent angle de prise de vue !
...superb and extraordinary!
The sky in this photo is exceptional. Congratulations! Magnificent view.
fantastic work here. well done
this is a 'likey' for me...in shutterchance terminology :)
Enjoyed the Jersey city series, Laurie, well done. That fisheye lens is really something. Cool perspective for a football game.
Really great photo. Not being a football fan I LOVE the cityscape in the background!
An interesting and very eye-catching photo. I know a football field is rectangular so this warped view gets my attention immediately. A fine way to end your series.
Such a perfect image for this time of year. Love the fisheye effect.
The fisheye curve does make the shot very interesting to look at.
Isn't it nice to have a backlog to choose from? I have thoughly enjoyed the Jersey series and I love the small town local atmosphere of the football game. The fisheye works well.
Wow the fisheye lens created a very different photo then is usually seen of a football field. I like this effect!
wonderful capture with the fish eye! well done
Great use of your fisheye ! And the sky is terrible !!
very nice wide angle, smart use of the fisheye! i like those bright clouds in the sky, they makes a lovely sporty day!
i like how the fish eye makes their shoulders seem extra broad.
Stop it with those beautiful skies already! Geez! Each one seems even better than the previous one! :) I like how these guys are lined up and the curve in the image makes it an even wider angle. Nice work!
An astonishing perspective.
What an amazing photo! - I love the curve and the theatrical perspective and drama!
a very impressive image, Laurie! Beautiful.
ps: my image of the indian - you can find the link to the original image in the description.
novel use of fish eye. I love how it brings the city into just a tiny focus.
Bonsoir,
Great shot..WWonderful fisheye..bravo!
That is a fantastic image for a sports shot -- one not seen often, that's for sure. I really like the perspective and the thought. Nice work.
this picture is very beautiful !! Waouh ! Bravo !
Cool shot. Maybe I'd like football better if it were played on a round field like this. :)
Wow...that is an amazing image...no wonder so many people like it.
This is really perfect! Stunning!
wide football %)
Wow!!! great use of the wide angle and your sky is really beautiful! great work!
Putting fisheye at its best here!
