Kaleidoscope

[BlackRockArt]

Hi y'all.

This is the cracked frozen river surface I took a few weeks ago, the pattern looked so fascinating to me. I thought I would like to share with everyone.

Enjoy.

Oliver

PS: I am not sure if this should be in the Landscape or Abstract.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Wow, looks awesome.

Very cool, Oliver! What was the lighting?

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Am I correct in assuming that you have adjusted the color? The result is excellent.

Oliver,
This is excellent! gives me a few ideas to try on some of the frozen bubble shots I have

 

[JimFox]

That's some very cool ice cracks Oliver! I like your processing. It probably belongs in Abtract, but more people will see it here, I can move it later.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Great job on seeing this and then capturing it and processing it

Sweet - I have the same question as Monika on the lighting.

Thanks Jameel, it's the frozen river surface.

Very cool, Oliver! What was the lighting?

Thank you, Monika, the cracked icy surface reminded me the kaleidoscope I had when I was a little kid.

Thank you Doug. Yes, you are quite right. I did a gradient RGB color toning, normally I wouldn't color tone nature photos, for this particular scene, an RGB hue gives a better feeling.

Sunny, let's hope the part would open by the end of the month. I had to cancel my bookings of last week, it was a real bummer.

Thank you Jim. the crack pattern comes from the constant thawing & refreezing of the river, the pattern really caught my eyes.

Thank you, Ben. I guess this is what they call "intimate landscape"

Sweet - I have the same question as Monika on the lighting.

Thank you, Alan. I did an RGB toning.
