Minnesota Views: Keller Lake

This picture is from a couple years ago. Ice had formed on Keller Lake, and a group of geese were huddled together. I was experimenting with a lens adapter, allowing me to use some of my old lenses from my Olympus OM1-n with my new Olympus digital SLR. The images were a little grainier than you might normally want, but I like the effect. This is an excerpt showing just one of the geese, reflected in the ice. I like the abstract nature of the image. We get so accustomed to cameras presenting us with blunt realism. I like using a camera to produce something more like a painting.
