Observations and comments on recent frost photographs were very welcome and provided some ideas to ponder. An attempt at another frost photo several days ago got me thinking about a new approach.
Canon 180mm macro and 5D at minimum focusing distance.
The oof background sort of...blah. This might be a good thing. Perhaps more importantly, the frost itself has very limited color - mostly black and white. Moving the shooting position brought in some blue sky and gold foliage colors, but at that point the window pane and subject weren't parallel with the sensor plane.
I cannot change where the windows are, and I also cannot change the background. But, I can provide an artificial light source to bring in some color. Maybe some of those little Christmas tree lights. Can anyone provide some other ideas?
Thanks,
