Photogs Spend Another Frozen Night In City Park!

Last night about a dozen photogs from our meetup group (Illuminate Workshops) met at City Park to brave cold. We met at the steps looking towards the city.

After the sun went down, I went down to one of the balls that surrounded the circle. In this image, I got down low to emphasize the long shadow and included the park bench in the background.

The city lights lit up the overcast sky with a pale orange light.

We made our way down to the lake. By this time, the sky had turned a deep blue. In this image the orange sodium light contrasts with the blue of the snow and sky. Snow continued to fall, leaving trails and a glow around the streetlight.

Nearby this tree had many branches trimmed and removed. This tree greeted us with limbs spread wide open.

We stopped by the playground where the park benches had a light coating of snow. In the background, one of our fellow photogs was making an image of the playground. My image below was exposed for 13 seconds — I was amazed that this photog had stayed so still for the duration of the exposure!

Several paths in the park had frozen footprints. I stopped to make an image of one area, where the snow had accumulated on the ridges of ice to outline the prints.

That was the last image of the night. By this time it was so cold that feet and fingers were frozen… So I headed home for a hot dinner to get warm again.
