p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Frozen in Devils Lake


A colorful fall oak-tree leaf frozen on the icy surface at Devils Lake State Park, WI.


A VERY difficult exposure.
Three exposures for this image ( all at 14mm )
One shot for the leaf ( it's only inches away from the lens ),
One shot for the overall scene ( shot at a -1/2 stop - focussed at infinity ),
One shot for the sunburst ( usually f/22 slightly over exposed )


Link to a much larger version with no jpeg compression artifacts





800px version suffering from jpeg artifacts to stay within 750kb limits

Nice shot, you did a nice job blending the different exposures. We have a Devils Lake in ND also.

Hey Matt,

Nice work on this one. The focus blending looks great and that ice is a real treat.

Thanks! I hear your Devils Lake is much much bigger, and the fishing is supposed to be as good as it gets...

Love the concept and the blending. A little crunchy perhaps ? Maybe the horizon is slightly off (something just makes me feel uncomfortable, the bank of the lake is perfectly horizontal and maybe it shouldn't be) ? Whatever I love it !

I definitely see the "crunchy". The sharpening / jpeg artifacts are making the details look chunky. The larger version ( via the link, does look much nicer for web presentation IMO ).

"the bank of the lake is perfectly horizontal and maybe it shouldn't be..." lol, first time I've had that critique.

Ha ha. What I was trying to say was that you are looking at the lakeside from an angle (not straight on) - therefore it shouldn't be horizontal but angled away from you.

I see what your saying, and I think your right! The shoreline does kind of veer off less than horizontal!

Love this shot - fantastic comp, great light, and VERY nicely seen! A lot of people would have walked by that leaf (probably myself included).
