This Candlestick Park Red Chairs photograph was shot in the later afternoon before a night game. These chairs are the best memorabilia to remember the Stick! Maybe one day my wife will allow me to own an actual chair. I did buy an orange seat to use as a background for shooting my photo products.
Notice the light flare on the upper right corner. As per 2nd previous post where I mention about most of the time, a photographer will avoid this light flare in a picture. Well this is an example where I wanted the flare to show the light rays over the rows of chairs. The flare also reflects a nice glow on the bright red chairs.
A photograph should show off the best features of the subject. This light accentuates and highlights the good attributes for these chairs at the Stick. The natural flare also gave a great glow to these classic red stadium chairs.
Natural lighting is an important ingredient for a good picture.
My mother-in-law (who is only 99 years old) has a habit of wanting to save money and close the lights. If she gets up in the middle of the night, she will not turn on the light. She already does not have perfect sight, and light will illumine her path to prevent an accident. I have tried to help by putting night and motion lights to help her.
Just like my mother-in-law – we forget how important light is and how much we need it.
Practice shooting pictures with different degrees of natural lighting to see the reflection, flare, and glow in your results.
As always – my photos are not altered via software to give the “glow”.
Get the glow on in your photos!
Lower Box Seats behind home plate at Candlestick Park during batting practice before a SF Giants game. You can see the luxury boxes that circled above and the press box up on top of the stadium.
Welcome to the exit corridor from the Upper Box level in the right field stands area of Candlestick Park. It was interesting to look down the corridor and see the sunlight streaming in from the opening leading to the upper box seats. This exit corridor looks almost endless.
