On a frosty window by Stuart Ord

February 2025 - On a frosty window

About the Image(s)

Have you ever tried to photograph frost? I find it's harder than I would have thought.

This was a small leaf frozen to a house window. I hand-held my camera and let it take a stack of 11 images. You'd have thought (well, I would have thought) this would give crystal clear - er - crystals, but I find them lacking in punch despite the usual post processing.

Alas our short cold spell has passed now, and I don't really want it back for another go....

OM Systems OM-1, Olympus 30mm macro lens, 1/45 sec at f6.7 and ISO 80, 11 images merged in Helicon Focus and processed in Affinity 2. Slight cropping takes the magnification up from 1.25:1 to about 1.5:1
