You know its cold outside when you can teach your kids about the Mpemba effect with a cup of coffee! Can’t live though a Canadian winter without giving this classic shot a go. It was taken on a frozen Ness Lake in British Columbia. I have put the initial sequence below for people who have never seen this before, they were taken with a shutter speed of 1/800s. The Mpemba effect is a process in which hot water can freeze faster than cold water.

This is seriously freakn’ cool! Pun intended.

Looks outstanding. You might have to be sharp enough to catch tis moment on time. Thanks for sharing this on steemit.

Really great shot!

(literally)LOL

Glad you got a laugh ;-)

I am fairly mind blown with this. I haven’t heard of the Mpemba Effect until now but it’s a pretty crazy phenomenon, just spent the last 10 minutes reading about it on google haha

Glad that I could enlighten you on this !

Your Instagram will now be complete

That's very awesome!!
What did your little one think? : )

He was impressed !

YOU DID IT! You really did it! Your mission is Canada is now complete!

That is so cool - such a great fan of frozen coffee, it's like a firework! So how many tries did this take?

This was on the second try ! We rushed out to do this as I was worried we might not get below -20C again this winter. There is a so called pineapple express on the way and its going to be +10 next week .

Pineapple Express! Haha.

Well, my compliments on making this work without too many repeat attempts, both to the photographer and the coffee-thrower!

It would have been better if we got up 30 min earlier and had lower light. But there was still some morning light in the spray; and I enjoyed my sleep in.

Oh well, at least you didn't have to use a higher ISO.

Yes and it looks a little different in this light to all the other sunrise shots.
