Ice Ice Baby- part 1

_{We are grains of sand.}

Weather so beautiful but so deadly. Without a doubt, the most intense weather conditions I've ever shot in, -5 degrees Celsius (23°F) with a howling wind of 10 meters per second straight from the Baltic Sea. Gulf of Finland is still mostly open but a little bay like this is full of icy slush, slowly churning like it would be in an ice cream maker.

I'm dividing this set of pictures into two parts, because I have a lot of them and I think I deserve rewards from two posts because I pushed myself near hypothermia for these shots :D These first ones are shot with a wider lens Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G, and of course with the Nikon D7200.

This is more of an overview and tomorrow you'll see a more closer, intense look of the icy waves crashing to the shore, instantly freezing everything it touches, myself included.
