December 2025 - Cold Snap
About the Image(s)
Massachusetts had a real cold snap. I woke up to this sculpture by old man? winter. I used an old Nikon 85, tilt-shift lens on a sturdy tripod and adjusted the shift to avoid a pic cushio affect f11 (I didn't record the shutter speed) Devlopment was done with ON1 2025, AI sharpening and I used a preset with a gentle dareening around the periphery and converted to black and white.

I'm not familiar with the tilt-shift lens but I assume it's so you don't get your own shadow in the way? I like the photo a lot - a nice abstract to get lost in. I like the inclusion of the different tonal ranges. What was this ice on? I was trying to photograph snowflakes on a mirror the other day and could not figure out the best strategy.
