Description
Today, as the ice is leaving the lakes we have rain and 43 degrees. A few days ago this die hard ice fisherman was determined to try for one more catch while the ice would still hold his weight.
This was taken with the car window down and the zoom extended, no tripod.
Thanks for looking!

Wow, quite a shot. You must not be drinking coffee to shoot like that without a tripod. If this were a movie, the next scene would be the guy breaking through the ice with either comic or tragic results depending on the tone of the movie. Hopefully this story didn't end that way. Spring is welcome after a harsh winter, isn't it?

Stellar long distance shot from your car of a probably vain attempt to rescue the overly confident fisherman, who, at best, was pulled out of the water half frozen, or, at worst, is now long gone at the bottom of the lake.

This gives me the shivers looking at him! I couldn't go out on the ice at this time of the year. Wonderful candid shot.

it's great to read the comments, people shivering, Andrea saying she could never live there (I'm not too fond of it either!) and Harry lamenting the poor bloke now at the bottom of the lake: One picture & we're all freezing and mourning a stranger! I'm always amazed when people get good shots out a car window, but I guess that comes with experience. (And was "no tripod" a photography joke? I mean, do you 'ever' use a tripod in a car? I don't know, but I'd think it rather clumsy.) I like the striated lines of the water, the hazy blue—from being in a car maybe, or maybe just diffuse Minn. winter light—and those oh-so North Midwestern looking buildings & skyline. The fisherman is so peaceful hunched up out there. I like the mood of this shot, and the sweep. And I hope the guy didn't fall in...Nice quiet blued-out shot of what's probably a typical landscape where you live. And if people don't know, they should know that there are a lot of lakes up there. Really nice piece, Jodie...

Great depth achieved by the out of focus branches Jodie. For sure a fearless man you captured dead center!

Beautiful place.I love the horizontal branches you ´ve captured!The water looks so good to go into..but i guess your 43 degrees are not in my usual scale...must be cold there.You have a "good-hand" without tripod.It´s a challenge isn´t? Great picture you did!
