Is it Ice or is it Surf? I like photos that make you look twice to figure out what you're looking at. I'm not sure if this image fully accomplishes that, but that's what I was going for at the time.
There was a period where I only took these kind of photos. I was stuck in a rut only shooting sunsets and mountains and I hated myself that every photo really just looked the same. But hey that's what gets the most likes on social so I should just keep doing that right? Well I was boring myself to death doing only that style so I decided to try this shooting style for a while.
This never stuck as a style I could build a portfolio around, but it did help me learn to look for and enjoy photographing the small details. I've got thousands of these frames I'll revisit some lazy rainy afternoon. Will it ever get me love on the socials? I'm sure not. But maybe I'll blow this up as a 10 foot wide print. I think that would be the only way to do it justice.
