Description
I actually took this shot at least a month ago, I think. Back when I made my "snowhenge" construct I was inspired by the LED-lit photos that Chipka was posting that I decided I wanted to try my hand at it, too. (In my own, well, unique way...) This turned out to be more difficult than I'd expected. Snow is of course quite reflective, so how do you get a nice exposure for the mid-ranges without losing the highlights? And worse still, it's really hard to not get those highlights at the expense of everything else. A nearby street light gave a soft contrasting red-ish glow that helped with that.
So, Chip, here's what you inspired! Hope you're enjoying it as much as I did when I was shooting it!

This is very beautiful, is it really snow? In that case I maybe change my recent view of all the white stuff :-) The lighting is gorgeous!
Cool! No really, not just a pun. It must have been a challenge to get that photo to come out without overexposure.
Now, that is COOL! No pun intended, either! Being a photographer myself, I can see where getting the exposure just right on this would be a real challenge. Thank goodness for that streetlight! This is really a neat construct and photo, Mike! I'm sure Chip will get a kick out of it!
Looks like the spirits of the ancestors are illuminating the structure. Well done!
Snowhenge, indeed--and Chip will love it!!
Great work and capture!!!
Cool and very funny !
Nice work!!
I finally got to see this! And I love it! LEDs are such fun and it's even more fun when you have the challenge of reflective snow and such! The lighting in this is really fantastic and nicely moody. This is excellent. Hmmm...this has many intriguing possibilities, especially with rock sculptures. Needless to say I love this! WOW! And yeah, it's quite cool in all of the best possible ways!
I like this a lot! Took me a second to realize it was a different shot of "Snowhenge". At first it reminded me of the Arctic cave where the aliens grew in The X-Files. Anyway, you did a great job here with the light, angle and essentially everything. Love this, and a nice dedication for Chip.
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Tremendous lighting!
very Nice.
VERY cool, my friend!!! David
Cool piece of work!
