Freezing and Melting

It’s funny how‚various photography techniques can resurface at any moment depending on what you are looking at….Given the infinite variety of things to see, it means that there is never a lack of subjects to photograph.

I guess this shot was inspired by the macro on the cheap podcast but it’s not a macro shot at all. It’s a simple lower angled shot of some melting ice but for some reason its shape intrigues me. When‚I first looked at it, it‚seemed like a mini model of something larger. It was photographed using the long end of my 70-200mm zoom. There was actually water moving through the ice that unfortunately‚I was unable to capture because‚I needed a slower speed and it was too bright…and oh yeah, I forgot my filters like a bonehead. Still, there’s something here that pleases me.

    Hi Marko,
    At 1st glance I agree with Yves, thought it was your shadow.

    Too funny – didn’t even notice that Yves, but it’s not my shadow, it’s just a spot where melted water gathered. Besides, my shadow is so much cuter : )
    Thx – Marko

    Hey Marko, I like this shot too! The bottom right looks like it is your shadow though at 200mm this is highly unlikely!
