    Default Platte River Shelf Ice

    I went back down to Sleeping Bear National Park today to work on more photos of the point and all the ice has blown into shore so there were some new opportunities as this shelf ice will only last a day. Lots of flight ducks but forgot my 600 and they were a long ways out.

    After I slipped and fell a few times on this extremely slippery ice as there was no grip and I forgot my ice creepers as I was walking back this struck my eye.

    Canon 1D Mk2, Canon 17-40mm , f/22@1/40, 0 EV, ISO 100, AV mode, tripod with rrs-55 head. Converted to BW using Silver Efex Pro

    Hey Curly,
    I'm likin' this one. Nice choice converting to B&W too. Afew minor tweak suggestions......I may lighten the sky on the UR a hair......and I would also do a bit of work on a few of the flares to further minimize them. You have excellent leading lines in the ice and very good texture in it also. The starburst sun is also in a perfect location. Very nicely done.
    BTW...8 hours out in 14-24 degree weather

    Dennis,

    Great job. Just the few minor things Roman mentioned. You did a great job composing it - the leading lines in the ice, the sunburst location balanced with the cloud and the inclusion of a bit of ladn/trees on the left establishes grounding.

    looks like some alien tundra....I'm with Roman on balancing the sky and cloning out some of the flare...

    Thanks Everybody for your help and I will work on the flares as what is the jest for keeping sun flare in the photo?

    I did re-compose the bluffs and will post next week to get more helpful hints.

    Hey Roman we are above freezing today and it sure feels good. Paul would of had to have studs on his flip- flobs as it was really some slick ice. Were you out shooting or shoveling snow on your 8 hour adventure.
