| I
slithered out on my belly to this small opening to a
larger downstream lead. |
I zipped
shut my camera bag and hooked it under my left arm
for a flotation device. |
 |
 |
| I ended
up on my chest on top of a bulge in the ice from a
river rock to take this photo. |
I put my
camera about 12 inches from the lip of the open lead
hole to get this. The flash fired over the edge onto
the snow and was wasted on the exposure I was trying
for. It happens. |
 |
 |
| A
weathered cedar tree on the riverbank that looked
tough to be there. |
I like
this composition, but the exposure is way
overexposed, and it burned out the best parts of the
cedar tree that I saw. |
 |
 |
| This was
taken at full resolution on JPEG mode. It is left as
the original JPEG, just scaled down. |
This was
taken at full resolution on RAW mode. It was
converted to JPEG at the same resolution as seen on
the image to the left. Sharper! |
 |
 |
| An ice
fang hanging on the NE wall of the Gooseberry River
lower falls. |
The
orange-white light from afternoon winter sun lit
this grass and I metered off of it for this photo.
Notice the nearly full moon peeking into the scene. |
 |
 |
| Nice
winter sun on the grass. |
All of
the lower falls action was happening outside of
natural sunlight when I was there. All you can see
is blue light. Sorry about that... |
 |
 |
| This was
the only interesting rock formation that was lit.
The scale is about 25 feet from top to bottom of the
photo. |
A leaning
ancient white pine into the light qualified for
things I was trying to find. |
 |
 |
| One of
the ice fangs hanging opposite the Gooseberry Falls
lower falls. |
I
personally thought it was a frozen blue whale. |
 |
 |
| Metering
my camera on the setting sun. |
This ice
looked perfectly alien. |
 |
 |
| Metering
my camera on the near glossy ice. |
Metering
my camera on the shoreline lake surface. |
 |
 |
| Metering
my camera on the dripping icicles. |
Metering
my camera on the reflective top of the milky glass. |
| I
hope everyone understands about my talk of metering
on the last sunset photos. I know that many of my
friends do. |
