Well, it’s been about 9 months since I last had the dragon box in my grubby little hands.\u00a0 I wish I’d taken more MF3D images in that time, but I guess it’s good that I at least got a few.\u00a0 All four of these were taken with my TL-120 on Provia 100F, using a tripod.<\/p>\n

Conundrum Between Trees<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the same sculpture that I included in my previous entry (here).<\/a>\u00a0 I took it on a later visit, and from much further back, so that it is framed by two sturdy trees.\u00a0 I think I like this shot better.<\/p>\n

Here, Have So<\/strong>me Snips<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This sculpture is just a stone’s throw from the one above; but in an artistic sense they could hardly be farther apart.\u00a0 I still don’t know the name of either work, nor of the sculptors.\u00a0 I shot this very late in the day.\u00a0 The low light level was no problem, shooting from a tripod (2 sec. at f\/11, I think) but it did result in some lights in the background coming out distractingly bright.<\/p>\n

Dark Star Park (Arlington, Virginia)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally, some sculpture that I know something about!\u00a0 This little park (larger than what I show here) is actually very close to the US Marine Corps War Memorial (the Iwo Jima sculpture).\u00a0 Another case of the abstract adjacent to the extremely realistic.<\/p>\n

This park & all its sculptural elements were designed by Nancy Holt & built in 1984, commissioned by Arlington County.\u00a0 The Wikipedia article about her goes into some depth about it.\u00a0 I definitely want to go back & photograph the park from other angles.\u00a0 The biggest challenge I had was that from most viewpoints the background was in full sun, while the sculptures were in shade.<\/p>\n

Broken Outflow Pipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maybe another inadvertent kind of sculpture?\u00a0 Obviously not a very colorful subject, but I was drawn to the 3-dimensional complexity.\u00a0 Another long exposure as the day was waning.<\/p>\n
