The park where Dogs rule
by Teresa Boardman on Jul.28, 2009, under Urban, Water
I am working on a project that involves taking photos of city parks. They are hard to photograph because of the heavy tree coverage. This fountain is a challenge not just because dogs and small children play in and around it but because it is a very dark brown and in the shadows of the trees. I have an idea on how to make it work and plan to take a close up of it soon. The fountain is in Irvine park just outside of downtown St. Paul. The park and the homes around it have been restored to look just as they did in the mid 1800′s to early 1900′s.

Well, a tripod and some heavy Photoshop editing (to remove all the dogs and children) might help
Nice picture though (also the lightning). And the dog just make it more “happy”.
