The flamingo sculpture in Chicago's Federal Plaza

- We're here at the Federal Plaza in Chicago, and we have a sculpture called the Flamingo by Alexander Calder, this was built in 1974. Now I've seen many images of this online, and I thought, you know is there something I can do different, something I can do unique to stand out from all the images of this really fantastic sculpture here. So a couple days ago I came and walked around. And I used a couple different lenses, and I tried reflections, I tried putting a black building in the background, maybe sky, maybe a person. So it was really about exploring what works, what's interesting. And what I came away with was, this is gonna be a really cool multiple exposure photograph. So let's go into how to do that.
