Lumen 4

Pond Ice

Inspiration can come from unexpected places. Rushing to cycle my daughter to school I noticed this pond frozen in an unusual way.
The ambiguity of the shot lies in the ice itself; these are not bubbles of ice within water, rather the whole surface is ice, with bubbles within it.
Some have thought the shadow cast across the Pond is from the legs of the photographer rather than a Birch tree; in fact so many have thought that that I have started to believe it myself.

This shot was taken with a 4 megapixel camera, which is less than on most phones nowadays, so it just goes to show what a nonsense the race to have more and more pixels is.
