After yesterday’s afternoon with the Mallards, I began shooting some of the various patterns in the frozen surface of Lake Ontario where it met the open water. Often it seems that there is an endless array of patterns to capture. All the images here were photographed with my 80-400 VR lens (with VR off) and a Nikon polarizer. The polarizer was used to slow down time so that the rippled surface of the lake would be rendered smooth. Here are my favorite ice-scapes from yesterday.
This image was captured when there was minimal merging among the floating pancakes of ice
A late day sun warmed-up this ice-scape
Photographed minutes after the above image when the sun went behind a cloud.
very “cool” Andrew!
Andrew, I absolutely love the second one. I would hang that on my wall!
Thanks Denise and Ray for the kind words. I appreciate them very much.
Hi Andrew,
I came across your blog thru a link in one of Denise’s blog post.
I can see how she was inspired with your images. Love the patterns & the different colors of the images. Good eye & very nicely done!
Hi Susan, thanks for stopping by and for your kind words. I appreciate them very much.
