WOW!

NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft’s window after completing the translunar injection burn. There are two auroras (top right and bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun.

"Ice Bubbles"

The frozen methane ice bubbles of Abraham Lake resemble galaxies suspended beneath crystal-clear ice, transforming winter into a surreal, once-in-a-lifetime photography playground.

For best results, shoot from a low angle with a wide-angle lens, use a polarizer to reduce glare (if available), and visit on a calm, sunny day to bring out crisp layers and dramatic mountain reflections. I visited at midday under bright sun, which made it a challenging subject. So, I used the harsh light creatively, letting shadows add depth and drama to the shots.

Photos with harsh light and shadows can also be converted into a nice black and white photo. and I'm thinking of doing that to some of my shots.

If you have the chance, visiting early in the morning or during golden hour is ideal. I also recommend going in the first week of January, when the ice has just formed, to capture cleaner surfaces with fewer cracks, scratches, skate marks, and footprints from visitors.

This place is absolutely breathtaking—nature’s own abstract masterpiece, glowing, textured, and endlessly photogenic.
