Frozen Beach, Michigan City, February 2018

April 04, 2018 in photographs

Camera and Lens: Bronica SQ-Ai, Zenzanon PS 80mm f/2.8
Film stock: Ilford HP5+
Exposure: 800
Developer: Ilfotec HC

While walking on this frozen beach along the shore of Lake Michigan, I ran across this crack on the ice that I, of course, had to photograph.

I wanted to show some context and not just an abstract image from above. So I placed the crack on the bottom left of the frame and left plenty of empty space between it and the background, in this case the frozen dunes.
