WC#519 - Icebound 2

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted February 2, 2012137 views2 comments
Granite boulders rise above the frozen surface of Meddybemps lake in Downeast Maine about 20 minutes before sunset.
Canon 5DII, EF17-40@17mm, 1/20s f16, ISO 100.

This is a different angle on the rocks from my previous post ("Icebound 1") a few days later with different ice conditions. I took 2 shots from this position about 15 minutes apart and I liked the lighting on the rocks from the first shot, but liked the clouds better from the second shot, so I combined the 2 images for this.

I like the flow in the clouds leading into the distance and the light is also nice. I can see why you combined these.

What a beautiful combo, Bill. The blend is very well done. The composition is gorgeous, and the light and sky too.
