Emirates Stadium Mid-summer 2007


it was almost mid-summer's evening, and this was shot near sunset. It is a Photoshop panorama, about nine images from the Canon 350 EOS, using the 24-105 mm lens set at 24 mm, all hand-held. This photo shows the interaction of sunlight on building elements usually not highlighted, eg the underside of the stainless steel roof, and the blue sky over the pitch seen through the glass wall. There's also the very soft light from a cloudless sky, which 'mellows down' the new panelling on the superstructure. There's just enough undirected light in the shadows to make a '3D' effect.
I printed three of this image, all for local Arsenal fans who run restaurants or shops; it looks good at 1 metre long behind glass
