I was huddling on the shore of Lago Pehoe, trying to photograph clouds of water droplets whipped by gusts of wind off the surface of this cold, glacial lake , when these two Danish backpackers suddenly appeared and took a dip in the lake. I had just enough time to squeeze a few shots, before they froze...
I set out a tripod in the ice cave I spotted high on the slope above Thompson Lake. Although the interior looked interesting I wanted to include outside view in the image. After metering both outside and inside I realized I'm not going to have detail in both. So I decided on 2 perfect exposure shots , one in, one out, with the same f-stop, varying exposure time only. Later I combined them in PS.
This was a lucky capture! Fast movement and poor backlighting was making the shooting conditions tough but also giving a wonderful atmosphere for photography. The grain in the image from high ISO really adds to the atmosphere of this small town rodeo.
