Chinese New Year is fast approaching, and 2012 is the Year of the Dragon. At the ice festival last weekend, there were several sculpture with a Chinese theme. In my opinion, they were probably the coolest sculptures there, apart from the ice slide. Unfortunately, Edmonton had been in a warm trend when the festival was on and they were having troubles preserving the sculptures.
I thought I would try taking some HDR shots of ice. I wasn't sure how it would turn out with the translucent and reflective surface. While they don't have the depth and texture of other HDR shots, it was fun to experiment. My only wish is that we were there a little bit later in the day so the colours would pop in the darker light.
The loss of two amazing women in my life has inspired me to live life to the fullest. The past four years have been an adventure on learning what is important to me, what is trivial and that I need to follow my dreams because life is too short. I've learned to Follow My Gypsy Soul.
