Fire & Ice
I was playing with the 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, and a tube this morning, before going out to sit in the blind. I think I used the 36mm tube on this one. It was hand held since the tripod was already in the blind.

Oh, I guess I forgot to mention that. This is some frost on the window of my front door. The orange spots are the sun, reflecting off the church windows up the street.

Re: Fire & Ice
very nice indeed, very abstract looks almost like an evergreen tree. I love how the crystals are overlapping and the lighting on this shot. nothing bad about it

Re: Fire & Ice
That's COOL! Pun intended.
Beauty definitely hides in plain sight sometimes/often.

Re: Fire & Ice
WOW, thanks Mods for the featured photo!
Thanks WesterGuy, Knight, Ken, Roger, Frog, Loupey, Paul and Chris for taking the time to look and comment. I have been meaning to shoot frost on that window all winter but just never got around to it until this past weekend. I did take some shots of it last year too.

And if memory serves me right, the shot last year was with tubes as well....but with the 50mm f/1.8?
Since you used the 100mm macro and tubes on this one, just how small of an area did this scene cover?

Your memory serves you well my friend. Here is a link to the thread with my frost pics from last year.
http://forums.photographyreview.com/...ad.php?t=29369
This image is a slight crop. It's just a guess, but I'm going to say that what you see in the image was maybe 1/2" across. I will see if I can get some more shots this weekend, and note the actual size.
