Shutterbug Photo of the Day

Have you ever seen a big chunk of luminescent ice on a beach during a sunset? We haven’t either, which is why we chose this intriguing image by Katherine Plessner as today’s Shutterbug Photo of the Day.

“This was taken at sunset while on a recent trip to Iceland,” Plessner writes. “I was part of a group of seven women and a local guide for a 10-day photo tour. Our guide explained that chunks of ice break off the glaciers and float down the river, then the waves push them up on the beach.”

Plessner shot the image with a Sony A65 at 35mm focal length. The image was captured at 1/20 sec, f/4.5, ISO 800.
