Description
Taken on a (very) cold day on I-80 near the Delaware Water Gap. The ice is from water that seeps through the rocks.Related content

That was a VERY cold day in the late 1980's when I took that one in northern New Jersey, up near the Delaware Water Gap. It's a rock face that was exposed when they put in Interstate 80 years ago.

Awesome! We had a cold winter last year and the lake in town froze over, it was cool. Theres a photo in my gallery of my boyfriend standing on the frozen lake.

We had record setting snow. Third (if I remember correctly) snowiest winter on record. Can't wait for warmer weather.

Thanks. I tweaked it a bit in Photoshop but the original negative is fairly contrasty.

Ooh, fantastic shot. It looks like the ice is gradually creeping out of the rocks. It's kind of scary, actually!

That's not too far from the truth. As the water flows down the rocks, it freezes and the water builds up over time.

Right! It does seem kind of nightmarish to me for some weird reason...but oh well. Leave it to me to find the scariness in things!

It's part of your charm.

My twisted charm, yes.

You see a lot of this where they cut through rock to put in highways. The rock is very porous and the water seeps through and runs out the side.

Wow, what a cool pic. It's like someone did a freeze frame on a water fall. Great capture!

Thanks. The day I took this, the frame wasn't the only thing freezing. Thanks for the fave.

It was part of a project for a photo class I was taking at the time.

Cool, man. What did they think of it?

They liked it. It's from about 20 years ago.

Oh wow! I guess good photography is timeless.

I'm a bit amazed at the reaction to the shot. It's been beyond what I could imagine.

Yeah, I just took a look at the other comments. That's awesome!

Yeah. I got new scanner software so I was finally able to scan it in properly. The old software couldn't do it right for some reason.

I tried different settings but it just wouldn't work. I got the new stuff and it works fine. Go figure.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. Well, at least you got it to work.

The new software is much better and has way better documentation.

So it's like going from MS Paint to Photoshop, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I suppose so. I've never used MS Paint but I've used some other MS stuff so I guess that's a good analogy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. You can do so much in Photoshop that even the people who made it don't know the full extent of it's capabilities.

That's why there's so many books on it. The interesting thing is that it started out as file sharing software at ILM. Their workstations saved stuff in different formats so they needed something so they could move stuff from place to place. Lucas sold it to Adobe for (I think) $10 million back in 1989 or 1990 and Adobe used it as the basis for Photoshop. That's why there are so many format choices when you go to save something. I've been using Photoshop since Photoshop 2 back in the early '90's.

Wow. Thanks for sharing the history, I didn't know that.

You know that the Camaro was originally called the Panther, right?

Well, keeping that in mind, watch this clip [link] at about 14:00.
