Icey Fountain :)

Hey everyone, I haven't posted here in a while... I've been very busy with Christmas and all...
Here are some recient pics of a water fountain that froze over night.
Notice how the sun warmed one side of it so there is only ice on one side.....

Nice vibrant, sharp colours.

The ice looks like tissue.

I really like #3, the feeling of standing on the "warm" side.

Great photos.

I agree.... the only thing I wish I would have done different... maybe left the shutter open longer to make the water look like it was flowing instead of stopping it in the air.... but I didn't have a tripod with me and I'm not steady enough for a long shutter setting.

I actually like the composition on the second one, and the drop look as opposed to the flow look, just because the rest of the water is frozen. Nice Pictures.

Would have liked to have seen a shot like #3 from the other side (ice side) of the fountain.

The sun was low in the sky so it made it look black from the other side...

and if I waited for the sun to come up to where I could take the picture the ice would melt... :?

you are right though.... I would like it that way also... But I missed the one cold day we had down here in South Texas.

Oh well.. maybe next year
