I knew the shot I was after this evening, and this isn't quite it. The two figures you see depicted here are two from three that comprise this sculpture, and I wanted a shot of all three. But when I tried to photograph them this evening I realised I had a problem in that the structure moves in the wind. These two were only moving a bit, but the third, which is tethered to the ground, was literally jumping around in what felt like a 30mph wind. So these two, shot at a high ISO, will have to do.

Anyway, enough tech' talk ;-)

What I really wanted to say is Merry Christmas, and thank-you for your continuing support of chromasia. I'll still be posting over the holidays, hopefully each day, but if you don't tune in for a while have a great break and a wonderful New Year! :-)
