If you are interested in joining TJ Thorne and I on a workshop in the Columbia River Gorge, we have opened up a second workshop on the dates May 13th-17th due to demand, and have two spots left. Please find more information HERE This is a shot from the Athabasca Glacier area last november on a particularly brutally cold day during an arctic front that was passing over the continent. The quick deep freeze caused some really interesting ice formations along this stream in view of an un-named peak. I visited the area with Justin Grimm, Erin Babnik, and Rob Lafreniere, and according to Justin, this peak 'is not a stand alone mountain at all. It is actually the remaining stone resting between 2 huge glacier tongues which carved out it's shape. The only thing that made this scene shootable is how the towering walls of stone and ice behind have been shrouded in atmospheric light and cloud, fully isolating this formation.' Direct quote from the post of his shot from that day, which you can see HERE. So lucky us! We walked away with something pretty unique from the area. Again, my tripod did not work for me this day and I ended up shooting this laying on my stomach, arms propped up on my elbows, stabilizing my camera by pressing it to my face while taking my exposures for focus points and dynamic range.
