Photography... a dangerous activity...

Well, not really. Today I went out to read at Strozier, my roomates told me that there was a car upside down a block from the house and was, well, I'm not going to bore you with that... the point is that I took my camera with me to try get a shot of that, as a funny picture, but the cops where already there so I didn't even bother trying to take the picture. In the way to the library, I always walk by a park close to the apt. which has a little lake, I've thought on taking pictures of it before, so today that I was carring the camera was the perfect ocassion, plus, the sun was setting and the light was really nice. While I was coposing the picture I felt an ant crawling on my foot, when i turned to see, it wasn't *an* ant, apparently, I steped on an ant's nest and I was being attacked by hundreds of them, I try to get them off but around 20 of them got to bite me on the foot and some other 3 on the hand, for some time I was feeling like I had ants crawling all over me. I had to retreat and try to shoot the picture from somewhere else. At the end, the whole thing was worth and I got a really nice shot which is here.



On the way back, I decided to venture once more, but this time away from the anywhere where ants may be. Since I didn't had my tripod with me, I had to improvise with my backpack on the ground, but I did got a nice shot from a different angle.



As I was telling Bing the other day, one of the coolest thing of photography is the setting up and trying to find the best moment/angle/light for a picture.
