Incoming Tide In the Estuary


Strange day for shooting. We awoke to a light dusting of snow, then it stopped, then started, and then a light drizzle started up - which returned again to snow. The clouds were heavy and the estuaries were abandoned to any visitors, which - to me - is the perfect time to take my camera and walk for miles in the forests and along the shore.

The image above was taken earlier today during an incredible high-tide that submerged parts of the estuary that one can typically walk upon. Not today. As the incoming tide buried the sea grass and shoreline alike, it trapped the ice underneath releasing incredible amounts of surface bubbles and miniature ice-floes.

The image was taken with an Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II with the Olympus-Zuiko 7-14mm f/2.8 pro lens in high-resolution mode (64 megapixels in RAW). Post processed in both Lightroom and Photoshop, the detail in the original is spectacular. I'll be posting more from today's shoot over the next week or so - as I get time to see what else I might like from today...
