That lamps look amazing and beautiful not to mention a perfect masterpiece 🙂
Nice!!
I would have been inclined to put the camera on a tripod and leave the flash off.
Of course the camera may freeze in that time.
Lebow,
that's kind of you to say. I'm pleased with the way it came out and sometimes think about making another one.

Derek,
yes, well, then I'd have to have a tripod, and some idea how to get my old Sony camera to take such a picture with long exposure. I tried some with the flash off, but the exposure was way too short of course. I felt lucky to get away with a decent picture using the flash.

Yes,
Please don't take it as criticism. I just feel that the setting begs to be photographed with only natural light and the light from the lantern. I understand that technical limitations may well prevent you from doing so.
In fact I can visualise a well executed photo adorning the cover of Japanese Garden Journal or something similar.
Regards
Derek
Derek,
no worries, I wasn't taking your earlier comment as a criticism. I also recognized that nicer photos could be taken, if I had the right equipment – or knew how to use what I have more effectively!
Cheers,
Chris
Hello
Lamp is nice, but what I am thinking if I look this picture is why in snow is hollow place,where stem goes into the snow ? Its the same with trees, always snow is blowed off near tree trunk.
Probably swirls,but strange that shape is almost perfectly concentrical.

Hi Priit,
thanks for the comment. Yes, I think the wind spirals around the trunk causing the cavitation. It's a neat effect.
