About the Image(s)

In February I decided to take a ride up to Niagara Falls, USA to photograph the ice from the falls mist that forms over everything. Once the temperature gets below freezing for a couple of consecutive days all the trees, bushes, fences, and most everything else adjacent to the falls quickly become covered in ice. I chose this tree because the area before me was open and left a good unobstructed line of sight to the tree, unlike the area past it which has many more trees grouped much closer to each other. I also like the railing that serves as a leading line to the tree.
In processing the image, I cropped to remove the viewing scope on the left and the tree and light post on the right. I used the Remove Tool in Photoshop to remove the Ferris wheel from the horizon and the trash barrel at the far end of the railing. I converted the image to monochrome using NIK Silver Efex 7.
The image was shot hand-held using a Nikon Z8 with a Nikon 24-120 mm lens at 24 mm focal length with a polarizer filter attached. The exposure was f/8 at 1/250 second and ISO 100.
