Ice Rapids
I took several pictures of water streaming over the ice and rocks of the Kootenay River, and the colours and textures of this particular rapid made a stunningly elemental composition. There is something about the movement of water over rocks and ice that always reminds me of the raw power of winter in the Rocky mountains. Photographed with my Canon Rebel XT and 15-55mm lens.

Wow!!! What an amazing image! This is very impressive! You did really well with composition!
EchoNorth replied
Thanks, Blair, it was tricky with the icy rocks and slow shutter speed, a relief to see it turn out as nicely as it did!
Michael Walters
This is really beautiful. Great exposure and composition!
EchoNorth replied
Cheers, Michael, the river was so picturesque it was a challenge to isolate just one part of the rapids to create an effective comp. Glad you like it!!
Al Bourassa
What a shot! It looks like a huge hippo emerging from the water.
EchoNorth replied
Cheers, Al, all kinds of weird shapes amid the rocks and ice at freeze-up.
Daphne Johnson
Very nice. Love the composition, and the water looks amazing.
EchoNorth replied
Thank you, Daphne, it was so cold outside, but I always head for water at freeze-up, its under ice so soon that I miss it terribly.
David Murphy
Well, this is lovely Echo…...
bit brisk in there, I bet!!
EchoNorth replied
Thanks so much, David. It was terribly cold, windy too. Had a brandy afterward, so the warm-up was the best part. :)
