Hi there.

I still haven't actually tried to learn anything about photography or how to get the most out of my camera set up, but a few nights ago I was feeling inspired and since there are tons of cool snow sculptures practically in my backyard, I took a late night go at it (click on them for a little bigger look).
















These first two above are my favorite and probably turned out looking the coolest. I really like the lighting in the 2nd one and how my eye somehow gets drawn to the red stop sign on the right side.








I think this one was a cooler concept than execution, but I still kind of like it.









I had high hopes for this one but couldn't get it to turn out right. I even had a name all ready, "Heart of Darkness," since with the weird lit up tree branches it kind of looks like a ton of veins protruding from a larger artery.








Experimenting with the wide angle lens... Clearly a crappy pic, but neat how much more gets jammed into the pic.













These last two obviously aren't anything all that amazing, I just figured I'd throw in a few close ups of some of the sculptures. The first one was pretty cool in real life -- I think it was a piranha type thing (think Mario games) and that is a human foot sticking outta the mouth.





Let me know what you think and flame away! Regardless, it felt pretty exhilarating being outside at like 2:30am, pacing around trying to find good angles taking pictures -- I can't wait to do it again (though I won't be for a little while, since as I type this at 4am, I have a 7:30am flight to California finally...yup, another all nighter with some sleep on the plane).
