Cracked Ice, Abraham Lake, Kootenay Plains, Canadian Rockies

Twelve months ago, I was in The Canadian Rockies on a sixteen day trip. The first eight days were spent scouting out locations for an eight day workshop that followed afterwards. It is fair to say that the temperatures were absolutely freezing.

This image was taken on my penultimate day in the Canadian Rockies which had me drive my clients 90 minutes north to the iconic Abraham Lake. It was cold and reasonably busy although on arriving an hour or so before sunrise, there were only a couple of other cars parked up by the roadside, however within five minutes of us arriving, a dozen others had arrived. News of my visit must have spread quickly, ha, ha.

So we wandered down onto the ice, complete with micro-spikes on the bottom of my snow boots for grip. Trying to find a section of ice that had perfectly formed methane bubbles was tough and I was not entirely happy with all the different patterns that I saw so I concentrated instead on this wonderful opened ice section. It lent itself perfectly to a portrait format so I explained to John, my client the wonders of focus stacking and promptly demonstrated the technique as well as guiding him to capture a similar image.

This image consists of five images focus stacked. I think it worked out rather well. What do you think?
