Here's more from the wander along the Bow near the fish hatchery. Some might know it better as where the killer weir used to be, and now Harvie Passage.
We had great light for what we were trying to shoot. Low winter harsh lighting can be perfect for snow, ice, shadows, and water reflections.
1. Sean working hard on a reflection. I think.
2. Some of the ice blocks were enormous! I think the water level dropped recently, leaving some blocks out of the water, and all sorts of tilted shapes.
3. This and the next three shots are a photo exercise, to put the subject in a different corner and see what happens. So the same scene, same settings, just with the camera pointed in slightly different directions.
4.
5.
6.
7. This wasn't us, but I suspect someone got a surprise here. Neither of us had an adventure resulting in wet feet, but then both of us were pretty careful where we walked.
8. As promised, tilted chunks.
9. As expected, we did not see anyone in boats or rafts.
10. Sunlight through ice.
11. We called this the wedding cake rock.
12. I often think that rocks and snow reflected in water will make a nice shot and I'm often disappointed. But I'm pretty pleased with this.

My favourites are 8 and 10! Nice stuff Keith :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the panorama with snowy rocks and reflections! And sunlight throught he ice captured my imagination too.
ReplyDeleteGood walk good company. Regarding 8, I find that converting a colour image to B&W in Lightroom without any changes results in an image with a histogram being too narrow, and therefore I usually muck about with the primary controls (black, white, shadow, highlights, contrast) to get the histogram to cover the full tonal range. B&W is also more sensitive to composition than colour. In the case of 8 I feel you are a little wide, which in turn means that the central form is watered (sorry couldn't resist) down.
ReplyDeleteI also quite like 10. Cheers, Sean
