Happy Valentine day
Happy Valentine - This is my entry to Macro Mondays - February 15, 2021 theme "In Ice".
I posted one more shot (in blue) similar to that one and a second one which more like a diorama.
This shot took a few days to prepare... I made the ice with two yogurt containers inside each other with the top one holding the hearth and spruce twig and the other to receive the cloudy ice. It was -14 C at night so I left the container inside a small cooler outside.
All went well until I took it out of the mold and stores it in my home freezer. The ice developed some cracks and some cloudiness but never as much as the ice cube tray.
For the shot, I use a black backdrop and the live composite mode of the Olympus camera. I flashed the ice for about 2 sec with a 50 watt LED desk lamp with a snoot, and then use a dollar store fiber optic light dragged in the background at about 25 cm behind the ice.
Processed in Lightroom and photoshop to remove the 1/8" rod that was holding the ice.
I hope you like it
