"Ice Cave Valentine in the Moonlight" February 14th, 2014. Metallic paper. The Ice Caves were so worth the trip. The moon was going to be full on Valentine's day and the weather hopefully was going to cooperate with my plans. As a woman I was very nervous venturing out on the ice for the first time on my own at night. I arrived to the ice at 4:30 a.m. all by myself with no one in sight. Walked nearly 2 miles to this beautiful spot in the dark with the moon fleetingly shining through the clouds & wondered if it would be out when I set up for a Valentine greeting to my hubby at home alone 100s a miles away. The new long bic lighter gave me fits in the cold temps trying to light the candles to create this heart which would have been much bigger had all went well but the moon was setting fast. Then I used a couple of LED flashlights and another LED light source usually used for video to add some light to areas of the ice cave without over exposure. It was a large area to cover. Next with each long exposure photo I tried to carefully paint with light the areas still in the shadows to give this photo life... Mission accomplised.
After I accomplished what I set out to do I took a whole lot of photos of the ice caves as the morning light arrived. Needless to say my back pack weighed nearly 70 pounds & by the time I made it back to my vehicle at 11:15 I had huge blisters on both feet. Note to self always wear another pair of socks between wool socks. I looked like frosty the snowman with my hair all frosted up from the sweat. LOL what a sight to be sure. LOL I hope everyone likes my efforts.
A beautiful print you will be proud to display.
