Description
Probably my favorite thing about shooting abstracts is that the final result doesn't have to resemble the subject that I'm shooting. For instance, to me, this looks like a jet of water splashing up after hitting the ground. In reality, the water in this shot isn't moving at all.
No, there's no strobe flash or super-fast shutter speed. This is ice.
In the winter, Oirase Gorge in northern Japan almost completely ices over. Some of these icicles reach over 20 feet long! As the waterfalls freeze, they leave a solid representation of flowing water splashing off the rocks below.
I thought the impact area looked so much like it was still moving that I decided to take this shot. A bit of nature's movement and turmoil, frozen in time.
