Hot Tea Into Freezing Air

Photographer Threw Hot Tea Into Freezing Air. The Result Is Stunning

Every winter sees a re-emergence of videos in which people throw hot liquids into the air - in the hope that the freezing weather will instantly freeze the contents of their mug, kettle or thermos flask. Of course, this does tend to result in foolhardy individuals inadvertently covering themselves in boiling water. But for the most part, it's an interesting scientific phenomenon.

A photographer from Ontario named Michael Davies decided to test the theory. His hometown is pretty cold at this time of year, there was no guarantee it would cut it. Therefore, he decided to travel to an area just 20km south of the Arctic Circle. The man in the photo is his friend, Markus.

Prepared with multiple thermoses filled with tea, we began tossing the water and shooting. Nothing of this shot was to chance; I followed the temperature, watched for calm wind, and planned the shot and set it up. Even the sun in the middle of the spray was something I was hoping for, even though it’s impossible to control.
