January 2025 - COLD
About the Image(s)
Lots going on here. New man in my life. Fortunately, he is a photographer also. Hoo Rha!
On New Year's Day, some locals do a polar plunge in our Lake Monroe. I cropped, sharpened in Topaz. And yes, it was cold.

Congratulations on you new man. This image does not work for me, there is a total disconnect been the 3 main elements. The group on the right and the lady appear to be quite interested to somethings off on the right rather than the swimmers. Posted: 01/11/2025 09:45:42
Thanks. Right you are about the disconnect. I was having trouble with just shooting the swimmers/plungers as there was no obvious reference to the temperature.
This one is really obscuring her camera. I'll try another. Posted: 01/12/2025 02:04:16

I think this is better. In Seattle we have a Polar Bear Plunge, which is the same thing on New Years Day. This year someone actually brought in a Sauna on an RV! The story in the photo is about those going into the water on a very cold day; I think the photographer wrapped up in a coat is needed to indicate the cold. Maybe next year if they do this try to get their faces coming back in...their expression should be priceless.

It was really cold. As this was the first time shooting, I was unprepared as to how to shoot. Any other ideas would be helpful and as always thanks for your expert feedback. Posted: 01/12/2025 02:05:55
