Tiny Dancer, A Very Small Flower In Ice - Finally!
The subject is a very small flower, measuring a full 1/2 inch in height that I found from a previous shoot. I put it in a little rectangular Pyrex dish, added water and froze it for this week's Macro Mondays theme - In Ice. A flower ice wabi-sabi of sorts. To make the shot, I released the ice, added some clamps and stood it up against a black blanket used as a back drop. Lighting was with three studio lights, two in the front at each side of the camera and one in the back over subject. The final image was made from a single digital negative or NEF file and processed in Photoshop to add structure and bring up the colors. Best viewed large, yeah, like I need to tell you that. :)
