Cold & steamy

[MattBurt]

It was -16F at my house this morning which makes the river steam where it's not sealed under ice. A fun subject and I decided to have some fun and go monochrome with my processing. Not a lot of color in these scenes anyway so it becomes more about the shapes and dark vs light. I used  6 and 3 stop ND filters stacked for the slow shutter to get the swirl.

Those shots make me cold, even at home.
I like the long exposure a lot (usually not a fan of very long ones) and the steams makes the shot a bit special.
Well done.

The swirl is great - shame about the blown sun, but it was where it was.

Thanks! The steam gets me out there.

Yeah in retrospect I should have gotten some more bracketed shots to have more options to deal with that better. But the cold made me feel rushed!

And there I was, thinking you were a Real Man. Another illusion shattered.
