Ice and fire

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted February 25, 2015268 views13 comments

Having 3 feet of snow over my ponds does not make for easy ice photography. so i had to be creative.. i took a small pane of glass. and covered it with water. and voila. a thin portable sheet of ice... i rushed it inside, and placed it in front of my wood burning stove, i produced this image. let me know what you think about it.. please see large version.

D600 150 macro. f/20. 1/2 sec. iso 100.. tripod.

This is terrific, Albert. The ice patterns flow very well and the warmth of the fire's glow makes a great background....kind of reminds me of my pond...

That big bubble in the ulc adds a fine touch of "spice".

Now that's creative! Thanks for sharing the technique. It looks really great with the stove in the background, that's a great find.
