A cold day
-
Brrrr! Well done. And some nice abstracts if you wanted to crop. May I ask where this was; we live on the lake near Milwaukee for 25 years, but I usually stayed inside on days like these... unless the Packers were playing ;)
-
Thanks. These were in Saugatuck Dunes State Park, about 10-15 miles south of Holland, Michigan.
Few behind the scenes shots for whatever it's worth.
-
That last one, fantastic! The other 3, prove your bravery, personal and in risking your gear! Bravo!
-
Spectacular images but do you work in camera equipment testing ;-)
I wouldn't venture that far, near the water to be honest.

Thank you! This wasn't planned, my pants were not waterproof and I got soaked followed by frozen pretty well. I encountered similar conditions in the past but the wind and the shape of the ice wall made even small waves rise quite a lot. Once I got hit I decided I might as well try to get more shots. Next time I'll have waterproof sleeves.
-
You could also get more "serene" shots that didn't involve such close proximity to the water
-
Very nice second set and yes, the location seems less perilous.
-
Several more
-
Definitely number 15 for me. Half Dome in ice!
-
Well done, and quite brave.
-
Thank you, I like to believe the risks were under control.
I also went back to a different place and came back with more shots, while losing a tripod leg (was out on the back of the backpack and the leg that wasn't secured somehow unscrewed itself entirely)
-
and a sunset progression
-
Last four are really striking, moody.
-
Stunning, all four... The last two sunsets are nuclear, very intensive!

For sure!

Looks like great days. I especially like #3 here.
-
Thank you. It paid off to keep going back.
Few days later I went to find the tripod leg that somehow unscrewed itself and fell without me noticing. Luckily nobody had a use for it and I was able to locate it, while still wandering how was it even possible. be that as it may, the ice started to break and I got more shots.
-
Another nice set about the cold. The second one (mich-2.jpeg) makes me think to Death Valley Badwater area with the round shapes.
-
Wow, I love these. I applaud your dedication. I really like that kind of triangular piece of shore - a very interesting subject!
I bet if you could catch a banger sunset or sunrise here it would take things up another notch. But it might be unpleasant.
Well done. Hopefully you have some spikes for traction. If not I recommend them!
-
Brrrr! Well done.
Agree, that looks cold, really cold.

a very special serie of photos; like them all! also the behind the scene are great.
I would never go that close with my camera!; good it can take it.
( don't try this at home!)
i think i change my ticket to a nice and warm destination!

Thank you Francois, Matt, Dave and Pieter, sometimes being really cold has its benefits.
As for spikes I have multiple, here I used my beefiest, some stainless Grivel Air Tech (see photo)

Well equipped, you could probably climb the Mont-Blanc with your crampons...

I would stiffer boots but probably are up to the task for non vertical ascents. Now if only having the right crampons was enough ...

Mont-Blanc isn't super technical (but not just a strenuous hike as some people wrongly assume) - at least with via the popular itinerary. Rescuers have seen Korean climbers with sneakers on the classic Matterhorn route which is vertical, technical and dangerous.
