I owe the idea for these photographs to Ann Levin, Stan's wife. She said "Have you ever thought of taking a photograph THROUGH a donut?" And I had to admit that I had never thought of that! The problem is, a donut hole is relatively small. So I got my wide-angle zoom and when I got really close to the donut hole, I could see a bit of a landscape on the other side. I was thrilled. The funny thing with this photo, is it looks winter-like and tropical at the same time!
I tried another shot with the donut backlit, so the snowy look is gone. It's funny, but I have seen so many photographs from Antartica, where there are photographs taken through holes in icebergs. Of course the iceberg photos don't have a tropical scene on the other side.
I love these photos!

ReplyDeleteSo honored you thought it was a worthwhile idea. I told Stan it looks like you're shooting through the craggy rocks at Arches National Park in Utah. Way to go, Ken!

Thank you all for your wonderful comments! I really appreciate Ann's suggestion which I think I would not have thought of. But, given the challenge I was all in. And I was surprised how happy I was with the results, as are all of you. So much fun!
