What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” - Karl Lagerfield
f/38 @ 1.5 sec. ISO 140 on a tripod Polarizer
Icy Blue
When winter comes, cameras generally go into hibernation.
One cure for the winter blahs – if cold enough - is to visit a local waterway
and look for ice. One of my favorite local spots is my town park that has water
flowing throughout it. After walking around the various water routes, I came
across ice along the edge of a stream. Upon closer inspection, I found the
right spot to capture what was happening around me.
Here, I set up my tripod and added my polarizer filter as I wanted
to enrich the blue in the water as well as get that silky feel from the flow.
With a small aperture (f/38) and low ISO (140), I could muster up an exposure
of one and a half seconds – slow enough
to get the effect I wanted in the water! Numerous shots were taken to find the
right combination of detailed ice and the silky water texture.
“Icy Blue” was that final image!
