A macro view of a 3D hexagon formed with 2.5mm magnetic balls, taken for the Flickr Friday group theme, "Delicate." The frame represents a span of 1½ - inches across.
These magnetic balls are very small (about half the size of a BB) and difficult to work with, resulting in geometric shapes so delicate and fragile that even a slight mishandle will ruin it.
Strobist info:
The scene was illuminated by three Nikon SB900 speedlights positioned at 9- and 3-o'clock, one-foot above and two-feet away from the hexagon. They were fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄64 power through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes.
The SB900s were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X flash triggers.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro) with a 20mm extension tube attached.

A recent trip to the Lake District saw plentiful scenes of various grasses some of which showed off their delicate nature.
In every true searcher of Nature there is a kind of religious reverence, for he finds it impossible to imagine that he is the first to have thought out the exceedingly delicate threads that connect his perceptions. Albert Einstein

As I composed here I noticed a raven pair fly over head then roost left center, under side of the arch. Stone underside must be more irregular than it appears and affords a safe roost for the night...
I have wanted to get a good star trail shot since, well, since I started taking photos. There is so much that can go wrong, so much that can be overlooked that for many years I have failed at making a successful star trail image. For this shot I sat clinging on to the side of a fifty foot sandstone bowl so steep I could not take off my backpack because it would roll away. I huddled there for eight hours without sleep or the use of an light (ipod,phone, reading etc). I just sat there and watched the stars go by. It was easily one of the most miserable and awesome nights of my life. After all the work from that night and the years of trying it feels really good to get a good star shot.

The light was completely wrong for this shot but I was happy to capture one of these fast little birds in focus and in frame

Below-zero air arrived suddenly, and these delicate little crystals began to form on the old storm windows upstairs. Usually they are much more dense, but maybe I caught the show early, before that happened.
This morning the frost was hard and the sky clear. These Silver Birch held onto their icy coat far longer than some of the other bigger trees and gently, very gently moved in the slight breeze. They were almost dancing, clothed in the delicate ice layer in front of my eyes. So beautiful!
