-10 during this flight over Skaneateles Lake. A beautiful morning so I got low to the ice to get some unique perspectives. Happy Sunday!
With February's snow and subzero temperatures now a fading memory, milder conditions across the UK over the past week brought that rare and wonderful combination of low wind speeds and slack tides. I was out at blue hour on several mornings to capture the scene near the Queen's Walk, where the flow of the Thames came to a standstill and created near-perfect reflections of the HMS Belfast, the riverside promenade and Tower Bridge in the distance.
This image was a combination of nine bracketed exposures, blended with luminosity masks in Photoshop and with Nik plugins to adjust the contrast and detail. The main challenge when shooting was whether to trade clarity in the water for clarity in the highlights, because extending the shutter speed and ensuring a smoother reflection also increased the size of the starbursts inside the riverside lamps, which had the potential to become a distraction. By increasing the ISO and narrowing the aperture I struck a reasonable balance, and I was then able to apply my darker exposures to the highlights to restore detail in the lamps. After this, I targeted my brighter exposures to the midtones and applied a radial gradient mask to the underside of the Belfast in order to bring out some of its metallic detail, as well as to emphasise the boat's prominence so that viewers' eyes would hopefully be guided to this part of the image first.
The colour-grading phase was a mixture of Colour Balance, Selective Colour and Gradient Map adjustments to create a colder finish and to convey the blue-hour ambience. Setting Nik's Silver Efex Pro to Luminosity and increasing the Soft Contrast and Amplify Whites sliders, I made the light inside the bridge and along the boat's upper deck slightly more dynamic. Finally, inside Colour Efex Pro, I used a sparing amount of the Glamour Glow filter in order to soften the shadows.
This last adjustment was important to me as I felt that a sense of dreaminess, particularly in the reflection, was key to conveying the sense of peace and tranquillity along the Thames that morning. Despite the imposing presence of a World War II-era cruiser in the foreground, the peaceful mood along the river at the quietest time of day was made all the more impactful by the calm conditions, creating a scene that doesn't come along all that often.

I hated that you couldn't stick magnets to a SubZero fridge, and then I figured out that tape worked.

Here's the next in this series of never seen photos from 7 years ago of the slow process of pulling in the wings to carefully avoid lineside hardware while plowing snow.
In the last week of 2017 which was my very last week as a full time resident of Alaska I had the rare gift of an opportunity to shoot the 'snow fleet'. This time it was far up north in the interior as the ARRC dispatched a pair of geeps with Spreader 9 to work north winging out sidings over the course of several days. Frank Keller and I got an early start out of Anchorage and headed north on the desolate Parks Highway to meet up with the train just south of this point. We'd spend the entire day shooting the train working in subzero temps, although on the day after winter solstice a 'full day' only amounts to just over 4 1/2 hrs between sunrise and sunset here at about 63 degreees north latitude!
The 'fleet' is seen here winging out the north end of Broad Pass siding at MP 305. In just about 7 miles distant at aptly named Summit they will crest the highest point on the entire Alaska Railroad at the Northern Continental Divide (the watershed between the Arctic and Pacific Oceans). Considering that this wide valley (hence the name) is where the railroad crosses the Alaska Range, home of 20,310 ft Denali only 60 miles distant, it is utterly remarkable that the crest is only 2363 ft above sea level!

Decided to run a little experiment. Biked it to/from yoga class tonight (don't freak out, it's only about 6 blocks.)
Since we're down to wind chill minus 24°F here in Madison this evening, I thought it would be interesting to see how it would feel to ride in it. Plus, my new balaclava and ski goggles were in need of testing. I am happy to report that they passed with flying colors.
Bummed to discover, however, that my best mittens are not hi-tech enough to keep my fingers warm for 6 measly blocks.
at -38C we didn't have the light for long, since as soon as the sun appeared over the horizon, so did the freezing fog!
(just lucky I guess)!
It has just been to cold for anyone to venture out. Tomorrow we are going to experience a heat wave. We are going to get above ten degrees F.
