Cought behind the wire--please help

I was at the ballpark Wednesday and took this pic with telephoto from the upper deck across the park. My seat was half behind the safety screen and out. Does anybody know how to get the screen off?

It is all but impossible to remove the fence wire, cloning would be the only way and there is so much I think the final product would not look too good.

Sorry Spin, but don't have any idea how to get rid of it.
But check out the guy right in the middle with the modified Canon Rebel on steroids !! WOW !!
Spin, the only way to shoot through a screen that I know of, is to get close to the screen with a very shallow DoF, and you'll never see it.
Good luck. SS

All the advice i can give, for next time, is to turn off the auto focus and focus manually and lower your apature. Closer the better to make that fence dissapear.

Even if you could remove that screen, the image behind it is not in focus. Someone could spend some time in PS using Content Aware. That would be quite a project.

even if you could, why would you. It's a photo that's badly out of focus, unless the fence is what you focused on.

I don't mean to sound facetious but.....don't shoot from behind the screen. Where you are shooting from is as important as what your shooting at. You should have left your seat and gone to a more appropriate location to shoot.
I do that all the time at Fenway Park. I wander around the park and shoot from many vantage points.

You probably can't get a satisfactory result because the camera focused on the screen rather than the subject. When you go back, either move from behind the screen or use manual focus to force the camera to target your chosen subject. I have had good luck with the manual focus trick with all manner of complicated screens and fences at countless stadiums. With one bridge camera that didn't allow manual focus I did ok choosing a focus target at a similar distance (not behind the net), locking focus, and then moving to my subject. Look in your camera manual, there's often advice about shooting in a zoo. It's the same technique.

Like jerry41c said use PSE10 and content aware it will work but it will be a tedious project. I tried a few square inches with my tablet and stylus and it made the task much easier. Good luck.

Can remove it in Photoshop CS6 however it's badly out of focus and not worth the effort.

Spinkick,
It is too late to get rid of the wire safety netting. You must have been at the Dodgers - Cubs game, and the next time you can prepare for the photography.
The only way you will bet rid of the netting is to have a position in the "Photographers Well". There you will have good camera position for the field, and close enough to the safety netting your telephoto lens will blur the net enough to make it not visible. You have to get real close to the net, like shooting through a Chain Link Fence.
When you purchase your nest ticket for a Cubs home game specify where you want to sit for your photography.

Yes, sorry, too late now.
Here is an example of what you can achieve doing what Brownstar recommends. This is taken right through a fairly substantial fence at North Pole, Alaska.

Hello Spinkick, there is not much you can do with this photo, next time you need to get as near to the wire as possible if you can, then the wires will not be so obvious.
