In February 2020, I was walking on the train tracks following the gorgeous St. Lawrence River near Saint-Irénée, Quebec, Canada. The river has tides that can reach seven meters, so it sculpts fabulous ice blocks. These two blocks look like ice debris. So, I left the track and went down to approach it on the frozen shoreline (underlying the importance of boot grips).

That morning, it was -7C (19 F), and there was no wind. The colors and contrasting shapes caught my attention. The conditions were surprisingly tolerable for such an open space. I added a 10-stop ND filter to perform a 62-second exposure. It flattened the little waves and created motion on the water. Once again, I used my camera's live-time feature to obtain a perfect exposure (ETTR).
