Embrace was created by sculptor David Hiles. It was donated by The Fountain Hills Civic Association, The Sunridge Foundation, and many others – see photo of plaque below for complete list. (Note: The plaque is in poor condition; I had to do a significant amount of touch-up to make it look presentable.)
Marie suggest this shot. I noticed that we could see Four Peaks in the right-most windows, so adjusted the tripod’s height and location to see as much of the that reflection as possible.
It was an interesting exercise to account for the white balance in the shade of the patio in contrast with the sunny area on the grass. I had Marie hold up a gray card in both locations and then blended separately processed layers for each area. I processed each exposure a second time to show patio detail and darken the sky. So, in summary, I used two exposures, processing each one twice to compose this photo.
This work, created by sculptor Doug Hyde, is titled Santa Clara Wedding Vase Gift. It was donated in 2007 by Jean and Rolland Lorenz to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.
More Than Words was created by sculptor Greg Todd. It was donated in 2013 by Neil E. (Tony) Atchinson and Sally Ballee’ Atchinson.
This sculpture titled, Where Have All the Mammoths Gone?, was created by Martha Pettigrew. It was donated in 2008 by Jackie & Jerry Miles and the Fountain Hills Cultural & Civic Association.
I had considered cloning the flags away, but Marie told me the sculpture has more impact, especially considering its title, with flags and other evidence of modern civilization in the photo.
This sculpture, by Brian Schader, is called Waves & Windows. It was donated by Tom and Tina Duffy. (See photo below of entire plaque.)
A close-up, looking through a part of one of the windows. This photo was taken a few minutes after the first photo. The sky had turned a nice rosy pink.
The plaque:
This sculpture, by Doug Hyde, is called The Corn Dancer. It was donated in 2011 by Jean and Rolland Lorenz in memory of their son David.
Another shot of The Great Arrow by sculptor Michael Jones. I posted another photo of this work using a wide angle lens. In that photo, I was just outside the door of the Community Center. In this one, I’ve over by the library, looking back among and between the lights.
This sculpture is Chauncey the Rabbit, by Jim Budish. It was donated in 2004 by Jackie and Jerry Miles. Chauncey resides in front of the Fountain Hills Library.
The photo, below, was my original edit. I showed it to Linda – she thought that the background distracted from the subject of the photo, which is supposed to be the sculpture of the rabbit. So I created a new version, above, which uses an out-of-focus background in addition to making the background a lot darker, which helps to emphasize the subject.
I still like the photo below. In the full size version, it’s possible to zoom in and read titles of the books in the library. It’s also closer to how the scene looked when I shot it.
