River is having icy surface

When the sun was getting lower, I found this place where a small tree braked the light to arrays ...



Next day the river was totally covered by ice ... only -15 celsius, waiting to get it lower Not a perfect shot, but a start for a year 2009.

Nice shots Kurt. There is something about low angled light and snow/ice that is quite dramatic. You've captured the feel quite well.

I am the opposite, Kurt, really like your first image best. I love how the light and its aptterns and effects on the ice (landscape) becomes the subject. Wonderful. Did you crop the image?

Thanks a lot! I also like the first one. The snow looks almoust like sand.

I cropped little bit from the left and bottom.

Interesting. You controlled the flare and received just enough light to make the photo work. I asked because I thought you cropped the starburst out.

I took several photos (more than 10) and yes, I wanted the starburst to be there (or I was hoping it ). Because the camera is not showing 100% of the view, you are not always sure what you get in borders. This is maybe one thing which could be fixed in future models of Pentax.

Well done and I like the first one most.
Very nice pics.

This is new to me. So the LCD does not actually show the full picture?

Nice job Kurt - the sun really adds to #1 and I like the texture of the ice in #2.

Nice work. The first is my favorite.

Sorry, I was meaning the viewfinder (95%).

Usually I do not look the LCD after shot. If I look, it is mainly to see the histogram.

Very good, Kurt! I can easily relate to the mood of your photos! Love the lighting in the first image!
