As the Ice Forms

© 2013 Thousand Word Images by Dustin Abbott

This is another image I have been sitting on for a while.  It was from earlier this winter as the ice was forming on the river.  A long exposure helped ensure deep and vivid colors, and I hand blended multiple exposures to get the tonality that you see here.  It’s been a while since I have seen a sunrise like this, as the last several weeks have been persistently grey and and overcast, so it seemed like a good time to share this image.  Enjoy.
