Christian Photographers Community

Our church had a winter fun day last saturday.  I agreed to build an igloo at the event and then of course, sleep in it.  But before crawling in the bag, I managed to squeak out a few photos from my camera whose batteries were dying from the cold.  It was 15 below zero at the time of this photo.  Taken at ISO 800 with a 30 second exposure, there was significant digital noise in the sky, but was successfully able to counteract that with a Photoshop plugin called Dfine by nik software.  Worked like a charm.  Anyway, here's the igloo, which was built on a frozen lake in southcentral Alaska.  The lake is called Beach Lake, so I guess you could call this photo an Alaskan January day at the beach!   




The igloo is glowing from the light of a lantern inside.

Wow that is so awesome.

That's absolutely fabulous!  And to think that it was taken at the beach!  I guess the long exposure was exactly the thing!

Looks like an alien growth on the surface of the moon!

My goodness, Andy!  What an awesome capture! 

The whatever it is in the background, possibly the sea makes this look otherworldly like the center of a crater on the moon, I once came across an igloo on top of Ben Nevice in Scotland one Christmas, cut from blocks of snow, the snow was 12 ft thick up there.

That's lovely!  And I knew instantly what it was!  I wouldn't have had the knowledge to get such a good photo of it, though.  Congratulations!

Soooo beautiful.

   Unbelievable picture and such a view behind the Iglo

My initial reaction was lava cooling.  Very nice and different.

Better you than me sleeping in your igloo!!    I like a warm comfy bed.  You did a great job building and capturing your igloo on film!
