Pack Ice / La Banquise


The combined influences of the Saint Lawrence River tides, its current and the local weather result in an ever-changing composition of snow and ice.

Each year Paulette and I snowshoe along its north shore with a group of friends and each year I go crazy taking pictures while trying to keep up with the group.

Here are two of my favourite panoramic shots taken under heavy gray clouds and very flat light. In Lightroom, I adjusted the white balance and added a little punch by increasing the overall contrast and darkening the blacks.

For a ten shot photo sequence click this link to my flickr album.

  1. Andrew- Exquisite shots of pack ice and the river. I love the colours and the suptle nuances of the whites. Would make great watercolours, I wish I had been there painting with you. Denis
