Yesterday, I decided to explore/photograph a park that is down the street from my house, called Sugarhouse Park. It's pretty big and has lots of cool scenery.
When I first got there, I saw a TON of birds of all different kinds next to the pond. So I parked my car a little ways away from the lake (so I wouldn't scare them) and when I got out, all of the birds immediately flew towards me! I was kind of freaked out (if you have seen "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock, you know why.) But I figured they just thought I had food, so I continued to shoot anyway. I'm sad I missed that moment when they were all flying toward me, but I was in a fight for my life (and my camera wasn't ready)! It was really cool photographing these birds because I could get close and they didn't fly away. In fact, to get them to fly, I had to kick snow at them (sorry) to scare them.
The line of ducks (below) were actually somewhat scared of me. They walked up to where I was right as I got back in my car. So I got out again and walked toward them and they froze in a weird cluster. So I got back in my car and they started walking again. Punks. So I had to get creative: I had to roll down my window and shoot from inside my car. I felt silly but it worked!

The last two scenes I stumbled upon while walking around. I didn't apply any color enhancement to the trees; they were just really pretty! Even though it's really cold, I love shooting in the snow!
