Frozen Suter

[Jon Buffington]

From my "frozen" series that I have been posting on the landscape thread. This is Suter Falls, shot on TMAX 100 with 17-40L and cpl on a canon 7ne, developed in diafine (an odd combo, I know. T-grain films are not supposed to like diafine as a developer). It was a COLD day and had been below freezing for 2 weeks. I have NEVER seen the falls like this. In this first shot, you see at the base, the splash pool in the very far bottom right corner. It has slowly built up to almost the top of the falls (falls are a good 50+') with a hollow tube left of center still allowing the cascade. A sight to behold indeed!

Fascinating - Not a big fan of super cold weather but it sure does make for some neat winter wonderland types of scenes in places like this. I like the second image of the set best with the closer view of the right hand side of the frozen falls - that sheet of ice on the right almost looks like the falls were flash frozen with the shape it took on.

Amazing.

Thank you Alan. I am also partial to the 2nd. I am always looking for new compositions as I have shot here countless times. Some times the tried and true works best (#2).

Ben, thank you

Hey Jon,

What a very cool series of shots here! That ice is so cool. My favorite is #3.

What's film? Love the b/w tones here and #2 and #3 work best for me. Good stuff.
