New Blue Ice Photo

January 17th, 2010

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__TS-E90mm f/2.8__1.0 sec at f / 22

Here is a new image, taken on Thursday in my backyard.  I make my own ice pond by leaving out a large, rectangular bucket and checking the results for potential photos in the morning.  This was my favorite of the series.

This ice photo session got me thinking about past ice images and so I searched my PhotoShelter site for “ice” and came up with this portfolio:

ICE

Also, I’ve also posted some amazing comments by past students of my One-On-One workshop sessions.  Check them out here:

    Hi Bill, I like the ice images. Don’t know if I will get to shoot much ice this year. Pretty mild up here in the NW now, but there is time. If it does get cold I will have to remember to put out my own water containers.

    Gorgeous … lovely idea too … I have an old metal pot (large, about 3 foot high and wide) that houses 3 goldfish and although we have very very few days of icing over in winter I keep an eye out for such opportunities … i am yet to find one as blue and active as yours here … luverly

  3. Hi Stacey,

    Maybe you can find some ice at high elevations near you? Good luck!

    Looks great, Neil, but you didn’t have to ruin it with the bucket! Great Idea though!

  5. Hi Salvatore, How can mentioning the bucket “ruin it” if it is such a great idea?

    I think your bucket idea is fabulous and insightful! It definitely made me see this image differently and think about my approach to photography.

  7. What a great photo, you definitely brought our attention to something we might have over looked and turned into art.

  8. Thanks Rhoda and Consuelo!

    I really like the jagged lines here. reminds me of shards of glass. Great idea with the bucket.
