A Weekend for Play

It’s no secret that winter in Minnesota is the wedding photography off-season.  It’s also been too cold the last few weekends to shoot outside for long, but this past weekend was different.  For the first time in a month it got above 32 degrees!   I took the opportunity to rent a lens that produces some cool effects and used it to shoot some Twin Cities landmarks.  I hope to use this fun lens in the future for engagement or portrait sessions — I’ve seen it produce amazing images.  Here are a few of the pictures I took!

Lunch in St. Louis Park at Yum!

Walking around Lake Harriet.  I think all of Minnesota was out by the lakes on this beautiful Saturday:

A walk through Prospect Park and the Witch’s Hat water tower.  I love how this lens can make people look miniature (second photo from left):

I saw this photo on flickr and just had to go find these skis.  There were lots of other cool things nearby.

Then I stopped to catch a few pictures of one of my favorite sign, the Ideal Diner:

And then I drove home to St. Paul through nordeast:

Tiffanie - Great colors in this set. I really love the diner pictures & the cupcakes. :) Did you rent a tilt shift? I really want to try one of those.

Rob - Hi

I see you said you rented a lens. I have been thinking about renting a lens but wish I could find a place local, rather then playing the mail a lens game. Are there places in the twin city , mn area were one can go rent a lens pick up and when done drive it back?

Thanks in adavance
