Description I watched the weather closely and returned to the place where I shot ' Passage Through Winter ' .. this time at sunrise.. I got up at 6am and drove 30 miles to Cloud Bay.

The ice was still locked around the trees and plants out on this rocky point .. the wind was strong making the temperature about -35c .. brrr! My whole objective was to back-light these oddities the way I had two winters ago with my 'Frozen Timeless' series.

I was rewarded with great conditions for this .. the mist over Lake Superior was aglow in the new sunlight and the morning was a glorious spectacle..

believe it or not I didn't do that.. it got the gradient-chunk pattern (old skinning term of mine) when I resized it! the print looks many times better

horai In reply to wb-skinner [2007-01-29 16:45:47 +0000 UTC]

It's weird how resizing a shot can do strange stuff. I've had one or two where I've resized first and then duplicated any post work to alleviate similar problems.
