Winters here in Wisconsin are cold and the freeze is deep. The lakes freeze. The Mississippi freezes. The marshes freeze too. That cold frozen marsh is very inviting.
I walk out onto the ice in search of cattails and reeds. I think they would make a great foreground for an image of Mount Trempealeau which rises beyond the refuge.
I see several clumps of reeds and pick on with some bent stalks. I go for a low angle image and bring out a wide angle lens to bring in the whole scene. Get in close, right on top of the reeds. Tilt the camera rear back to create extra depth of field. Add a grad filter to hold back the sky.
There it is-the reeds, the frozen marsh, the mountain and the gray sky. Nice on the ice.
