This moment suggested itself while I was photographing skaters at the Winchester Winter Fair. It was a very mild day and from the beginning of the skating that morning it was clear that there was a problem with water on the skating surface. I reckon that the skaters were moving through water about 3-4 inches deep as you couldn't see the shape of their skates.Amazing that they were allowed to skate in those conditions.When I came back later in the day, the water level had receded a little but was still a problem to the organisers.
Then in between skating sessions, this Ice Marshall suddenly appeared to clear the water...I took quite a few images. What I wanted to capture here was the effort going into clearing the water .i.e the extent of the problem, position of the body and board; the speed and direction of travel and the amount of water being cleared. I chose the four images below as best reflecting this...
