About the Image(s)
Hiking in the north Georgia Blue Ride area in the Winter of 2018 to continue a study of capturing ice formations along various streams and small creeks.
My interest in this subject is the various ways in which color is absorbed and then reflected, and depending upon atmospheric conditions will result differently. In a lot of this work I converted to BW, but here, these two examples are the color version originals that will be used for printing.
The "Featured" shot should, enable the viewer to see the image as in real life; I am close up and photographing with a Canon 50mm. The second, "Liquid Gold" photo is still captured digitally, but using a Rokkor-X 100mm lens used on my film cameras. 5D Mark II was mounted on a Manfrotto tripod and head. (Note Meta Data is vacant or incorrect due to use of Rokkor-X on a digital camera)
Post-production adjusted exposure and to take out just a bit of "blue" from the noon light.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

I like your decision to show the way the ice changes the color in these images! I especially like the wider angle version and its juxtaposition of the static ice and the fast moving water. Another example of the multiple photo options within one scene.

I hope the ice is all melted . . . and Spring is here to stay! I put away my snow blower yesterday; hopefully not jinxing us all. My wife reminded me that in each of the last two years - we had fresh snow in late April.   Posted: 04/05/2021 05:41:58
Earlier, I was responding to a FB post by a photographer that captured two interesting nature-abstracts...he said, "I don't know why I like these images (or why you (meaning me) like it so much..) and I responded"..."Well, when we come across objects (or seen through the process of visualization), these types of Abstract Aesthetics are always thought-provocative, as such, sometimes "prick" us or otherwise hold deep interest and intrigue. But the most important aspect for the photographer is composing a similar "intriguing" subject through our viewfinders. And you have done just this".
Thank you for your comments, Dale!   Posted: 04/12/2021 17:16:41
