Dockside Frost III
Yet more from the Dockside Green series. This deck surface had not been walked on when I started to photograph it. I walked a way onto it and then realised that it looked better with tracks in the frost.
Some of my shots which have the deck surface as the foreground show these foot prints in the forground, and many others caught the untrampled surface. People started to arrive after a while and so I was glad to get some shots without footprints. Although the footprints are kind of nice, and the sole subject of today’s post.

Canon EOS 5Dii, Nikkor-N Auto 24mm/f2.8 lens, ISO100, ~f-11, 1/25th and 1/100th (hand held so the 1/6th frame in the bracket set was not usable, and not necessary anyway for this subject).

Frosty enough for footprints. That must be thick frost!

Hi Karen. It is thick frost. I used to ride to work along this route, and just around the corner is a trestle across the Gorge that I had to cross. Sometimes the frost was treacherous. I think that these docks suspended over the water are especially good places for growing frost.

“Sole subject” – I see what you did there.
(I agree with Oneowner – the b&w is the better version.)

I wondered if anyone would notice. The reason I wondered was because I did not notice when I wrote the draft, but when I came back to it a day later or so before it was posted I saw it, and liked it too 🙂

I am sorry you weren’t around last week, when Steven Tze (who has a blog that you might already be familiar with) and I had a conversation about how we are, in fact, geniuses because we see things when we frame up our shots that we don’t even realize until later. (http://bit.ly/YAa9iX) Your unintended pun would have fit right in with the conversation, and I am sure we would be willing to include you in our Wikipedia entry…

I don’t think I am in your guy’s class, even for the unintended though I do that quite a bit. So, a wikipedia entry would best leave me out 😉

I like the footprints!!! And I am completely undecided on which I prefer of these. They both have patterns and textures that look great, though it’s more pronounced in the black and white.

Thanks Ken. I am glad you like this shot as it strikes me as your kind of thing. Footprints in frost are not all that common to see, so clearly defined, so it was nice to catch some.
