as shot

with DxO



Here’s another of those magical moments you can never plan.  I dragged myself out of bed reluctantly on this morning, but have learned that less than perfect weather often provides the most interesting photo opportunities. 

Initially on this run it looked like wasted effort and lost sack time, but I’ve learned not to give up too quickly.  The sun found a hole and backlit this grouping of islands with shafts of light as though from the heavens. 

The islands here were carved into line by retreating glaciers about ten thousand years ago.  At that time, the sunlight started a mile and a half above where it does now.  The ice was that thick.

I never shoot black and white, but I love capturing color shots that look that way.  The hint of color and warmth in the suns rays, makes a magical difference.  DxO does wonderful things with this image, bringing out detail and contrast to make the shafts of light and the water’s reflection even more dramatic.
