America’s Pastime


Photo by: Tyler Carlyle

I really enjoyed taking this photo because of how different it is from your typical assignment. I set the ball on the edge of the truck so that there was both use of lines as well as rule of thirds. I also love how the lighting only gives the outline of the ball. I had to use Photoshop a little bit, but for the most part it was all done with the camera.

This picture is a really great and i like the way you have to look close at the ball to see the stitches and to tell what type of ball it is. the title fits this picture very well! It is a very different shot and thats what makes it great!

The Idea of the photo is great and the title definitely supports it. But I think if you were going to have the ball be so dark, the background should stand out a bit more. Or have the colors of the ball stand out more against the setting.
