Description
What you see here is methane bubbles were trapped under an ice surface at Abraham Lake.This photo was shot at the same day as my previous "-20". I spent 4 days 3 nights at Abraham lake. Unfortunately it was snowing for two days two nights. This was from the morning after snow storm stopped, which was usually gonna be extremely cold (super super cold for a Californian like me). The temperature dropped down to -35C (wind chill -39C). It was one of the coldest temperature I experienced. At least the wind was not too bad that morning.
This spot is basically a 30-degree slope. It is kinda annoying when my tripod kept sliding down when I was trying to do focus stack haha.

This piece really does tick all the boxes when it comes to taking good solid photographic theory on what makes a great image and putting it into practice. The use of high contrasting colours, in this case deep blues and blue white mid tones shot against the orange burning sky satisfies the eye immediately. That is after we are already drawn into the image by the artists clever use of angles, notice how the gaping crack in the ice leads the viewer into the image all the while we're treated to layer upon layer of fascinating detail with the methane bubbles trapped in the ice giving the image depth and a sense of movement, organic almost.
I would be hard pressed to find anything critical to say about this work.

The frozen bubbles look eye-catching and the sunrise glow adds a nice touch to the whole pic. It adds a nice contrast between the warm oranges and cold blues.
