Frozen Footsteps
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 20 February 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This is a photo shortly after dawn in the so-called 'golden hour' for photography.
Despite the warmth of the colours it was around -5 degrees centigrade that morning and there was a heavy frost on the beach with the footsteps in the sand from the day before frozen into place.

I never considered that footprints could freeze in the sand. This is an amazing capture.

Beautiful! I was going to ask why the beach looks like that, then read your explanation. Wouldn't have thought for a second it was that cold from the photo.

This shot makes it clear why this is the golden hour. Wonderful warm colors, beautiful light. Well done!

Great foreground. I have to take my golden hour shots at sunset, "before dawn" is a term that evokes bad memories.
