This morning I awoke to find that the bay had frozen over. It still could go out, its just a thin crust upon the surface and a strong wind would undo it all, but a couple of more days of weather like this (cold and calm) and it will be a done deal for the winter. Right now there are still boats pushing their way through to open water in Adam's Sound but soon it will become the domain of snowmobiles.
Here are a couple of photos from this morning. I had been meaning to get a couple of shots of the multi-year ice along the shore and finally took the tripod and camera with me this morning when I dropped Leah off at work.
Once again, the first image is an HDR rendering, and the second a conventional one.

… and you were saying on fb that you need lessons in photography! Say what!
I don’t know, I look at other’s stuff and think I need to do better. Perhaps its just some insecurities coming through.
I think HDR is really working in today’s photos and the last ones too. I find that while they’re not as authentic in the physical sense, they are MORE authentic in the emotional sense- your HDR photos evoke the “wow” factor that you really feel when you are there, and that “wow” is usually unjustly missing from a conventional photo. How many times have we heard (and said about our own photos) “the photo doesn’t do it justice?” The HDR photos really do do it justice, but on the other hand, I like to know when I’m looking at an HDR one.
Thanks Nancy. I’m finding that it is the rare photo that works for me in HDR. I keep trying them but reject most. The one in this post is only the 25th I’ve kept. I think I’m starting to get a better handle on what sort of scene before me will make a good one, but even at that I’ve had some that I thought would make super HDR photos that I’ve thrown away when I’ve seen the finished product.
Out of the 25th there is probably half of those that I like a lot
