Trees around Brastad soccer arena in fog
  • @Benh: Easy to say it looks random even when the compo was chosen very carefully to get interesting trees while at the same time avoiding the glare of one lamp by the street to the right and get the floodlights around the field partially covered by trees so they wouldn't get too glary. As for the color, there are always questions about how to render sodium lights since cameras often have some difficulty picking up the exact right color. I've been there before and remembering those comments, I made a quick rendition of the light as soon as I got home and still had the scene fresh in my mind and I could set the color by using the normal (orange-y) sodium light shining on the road in front of the arena. When I got to the arena the sky was still blue, the floodlights had not warmed up yet and the fog was very thick (1). As time went by the fog thinned out a bit, the sky turned black and the floodlights became hotter and more yellow than orange. When I took this photo, the ambient light over the arena had turned almost green since the light from the floodlights was reflected from the plastic AstroTurf of the field up into the fog, giving the scene this strange yellow-green light. Normal grass isn't this reflective. You can follow how the light changed in the 1-18 photos in the series. --Cart (talk) 18:53, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sometimes, trying to squeeze everything in just isn't the right thing to do. Thanks for the explanations on the colours. I like the orange on blue version better (and aside, they are complimentary colours). That wasn't the main reason why I opposed. - Benh (talk) 20:13, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Benh: I can totally respect if you don't like the compo, that is fine, it was the comment about the color that made me defensive since I went to great lengths to get it right. The raw was even more totally green since the camera read the sodium lights as 'white'. Yes, blue and orange are nice together, I guess you weren't around for the blue/orange doping thing. :) --Cart (talk) 20:21, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
