Frozen Lake
I was playing with lighting settings on another snow-bound image, when this strange landscape began to emerge almost by accident. I could see the potential for an semi-abstract image. I worked on this to emphasize the effect, first changing the originally liquid lake into a perfectly smooth and reflective frozen surface and widening the camera angle. I then played with the clouds and sun for some time to get the sort of semi-symmetrical balance I was looking for between them and the sun's reflection in the lake. The result is this almost other-worldly landscape where the land seems almost to float bridge-like in space and only the slight reflections at the lake shore give the eye the necessary clue as to what is really going on.
