Warming tent


My wife is filling in as editor of the Alaska Star and so I've been tapped to provide photos on occasion. I was attending the Eagle River tree-lighting ceremony last Friday, shooting kids with Santa, grumpy reindeer handlers and angelic-voiced kids singing carols. As the evening wound down, the 15 degree F. temperature started getting the better of some of the families so they started migrating toward the warming tent. I saw some interesting silhouettes so I walked over andy pointed my camera at the wall and waited. The shadows waivered, unrecognizable shapes twisted and stretched across the wall, then this father and child walked into the tent and scooted in along the wall. The shadow was just what I had hoped and I shot it with my D300 and a 24 mm zoom. I had to flash it, but kept the power dialed back to about -1.7.
