Opening Up

Fleeting Moments

Power

NIKON D200, 18 mm, 1/4000 sec, f 3.5, 200

I've had my own on this statue for a while now, but I've been waiting for a day when nature was cooperating. That day was today. This statue is located down the street at a local cemetery. I think it's interesting how a change of angle and a dramatic backdrop can change the feel and meaning of certain objects.

Me and Jason (thesefleetingmoments.com) drove around during lunch yesterday and took a bunch of photos, many of which I will post up this week, so stay tuned.

By the way, HOW GOOD WAS LOST LAST NIGHT???
