winter wonderland
« on: February 26, 2008, 10:36:10 PM »
Yesterday my wife and I went to Montrose Street Beach at night when the snow storm was subsiding. I took these with a 6 second exposure - good thing I had the tripod! What do you think?
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

:) actually it felt quite natural.

I don't know why, but it looks like toys or models or
something.

it sort of does - thats because the background is lake Michigan at night - can't ask for much more than that.

I think the model feel that ethic described comes from the blank background. It's very pretty either way.

on a related note, saw this a couple months ago in a magazine and thought it was interesting:

Terrific pictures, axon - the first is great.
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?.

Thanks Ken!

the only thing I want to do now is remove the snow covered branch which protrudes from the left border.
