Looking for Frost — Mostly Unsuccessfully

Although we have had some extremely mild weather lately, there was frost one morning last week. Hoping to get some fine frosty pics, I drove up to the park. Either the frost hadn't settled much or I waited a little too long, and Ole Sol had melted most of it.

Since I was looking for closeups of leaves and branches and so on, I just took my macro lens.

The first photo was of a tamarack branch with the blue water of the pond behind. While there was no frost, I do like the complementary colours.


There was another tamarack on the other side of the pond, so I used my macro lens for a photo not normally intended for a macro lens. It worked out well enough, I suppose.


There is a touch of frost on the edge of these leaves. Although I don't like the focus, I do like the colour in the backlight.


This ↓ leaf was in front light and not backlight, but I like the shape and colour. There was a smidgen of frost, but it doesn't really show up in the photo.


If I try for frost again, I must remember to get out a little earlier.

  3. don't wish too hard for frost. When it comes it might freeze your butt off. I know you're trying to get out before it'd too cold.

  12. The tamarack shot is classic. And now we have enough snow that you can do snow-laden sumac. Yeah, the colour in the back lit shot is amazing.
