Under The Lens

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted March 24, 2010213 views10 comments

Ice-covered river branch with fallen leaves frozen into the ice, an icy air bubble on the surface functions as magnifying glass focused on a poplar leaf and funny colours from the depth. The leaf in the middle looks a bit oversharpend but it's the fault of the"glass"

Hopefuly the last icy capture I took this long winter.

ISO200 f/14 1/15 tripod

Every C&C welcome.

This is special! Looks almost like floating in a bubble among the stars. I might consider playing w/another crop other than centering...just to experiment. This is a winner.

Istvan:
This is really unusual - great find! The image looks like it is being lit from below and the smaller bubbles are like stars in the galaxy.
