Long time, no photo-ing. I have been taking some of school events but it has been rather dark when I've been home for the last couple months. Got inspired by some good shots from
this lady in Russia and from some in various magazines to get going again. New Year's resolution? I don't know. Anyway, there is more light now, and I am teaching photography again at school this coming week. This one I found on the way back from my morning walk with the dog. It was warm and melty, and has since refrozen. These little bits of stubble were sticking up through the ice with frost on them and the light worked. I think this is with my macro combo, and just tweaked the highlights to make the snow properly white.
Also taken on the return trip this morning with the macro combo. Not sure why this bit of dead plant caught my eye, but I managed to get an angle I found interesting - and the right aperture to get most of it in focus. It has a symmetry of sorts, I suppose. Only increased the highlights a bit here.
And this is one I took in the beginning of last November and never got around to posting - some hoar frost on the barbed wire fence in the back field. I was struggling with the available light, so unfortunately the depth of field is a little shallower than I would have liked. I sharpened this one a touch, but that's it. I figured it was a neat enough shot to include as an extra here.
