I first attempted this particular theme back in Feb 21 after a suggestion from Janet Benoy for a members choice - some interesting results thats for sure and patience was certainly needed
This is a very small feather photographed at 1:1 macro. The area in the photo is 1.5 inches (36 mm) across.

This is a piece of the mortise lock which chose to break while I was inside the bathroom trying to fix it. I was stuck in there for 40 minutes before I managed to pry the door open. Still trying to search for a replacement lock and keeping the tools in the bathroom just in case.
The small Meyer lemon from my garden is partially revealed because it floated in the water in this 3 inch, 75 mm, glass rameklin. However, it is clearly in ice.
The ice looks like dry ice, due to my using portrait mode with studio light my iPhone 12 Pro Max when shooting this shot.

Get your motor runnin′
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin' gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
I like smoke and lightnin′
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under
Yeah, darlin' gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space ........

I promised I would plan ahead the last time we did this theme. I read the article and selected some tiny plants from the garden and froze them in some paper containers. Then I forgot about them. I managed a decent shoot this morning and spent a couple of hours struggling with BAD PANDA.
Here I am at last.
I'm uploading the two best shots. This one is the tiny leaves from my Japanese maple, Beni Maiko, that translates to "red haired dancing girl".
The other one (below) is a dandelion and an ivy leaf. I think it looks more like a dancing girl than the maple.

I recon Austin Powers from the swinging 1960s needs to be thawed out again, defrosted from his cryogenic tube and ordered to save the Earth 🌍 again, but this time it's not Dr. Evil, it's Mr. Evil Covid instead, this seems a good idea to me considering the epidemic & global warming and general mess we all are living with .... etc.
well I do have a vivid imagination .... 😂 😹 ....
"Oh behave"
"Groovy baby"

For the making of this image I took a small empty water bottle, then cut off the neck section.
Then I took a shiny plastic rose and inserted this into the bottle, topped off with some water and popped it into the freezer.
The next day I used a glove an scissors to cut through the plastic bottle to reveal a frozen tube all frosty, I rubbed the outside to reveal the encased shiny captive delight.
I then placed this tube in the sunlight and began some differing macro shots, then after some alterations and enhancing on the computer .... there we have it my frozen image.
I could see a sort of pareidolia face appearing inside the icy image, being inside a tube it reminded me somewhat of "Austin Powers" before being defrosted after being cryogeniclly frozen since the swinging sixties.
From the film: International Man of Mystery.
Thank you so much everyone who took the time to view, comment or favour my image, it's really appreciated! 😊
I missed last week's Macro Monday's theme of 'pin'. Frankly it was a challenge that didn't grab me, because I had no idea where to find a pin in this house. But this week's challenge to photograph an object deliberately frozen into ice triggered something in me. (They should have issued a warning). It brought back memories in the Merchant Navy where officer minds in the ship's bar would debate the life of a cockroach and how it was said they could survive anything including a nuclear blast. Apparently they could survive in the ship's freezer, and to prove the point...yup, you've guessed it. Someone put a cockroach in a freezer ice tray. So on Monday, I won't be surprised to see creatures, insects, that have been deliberately frozen into ice for this challenge. With this in mind I went hunting round my garden for live 'objects'. I returned a few minutes later with a daisy, a foxglove flower, a buttercup and three things I don't know the name of, but they weren't moving. I had eventually found an ice cube maker,.......... but that's another story, I might save for another day. But I dipped my objects in the ice maker and put it in the freezer and left for 24 hours
They didn't come out as ice cubes because the icemaker only had round holes in it, each 40mm across. So I ended up with a load of shallow ice cylinder blocks, one with the foxglove flower in it. And that's what you are looking at here, after I had turned it upside down and left it to warm a little. It reminds me of a Caithness Glass paperweight which I believe are still quite collectible by some. But this one has some alien airship fungal being within it. There you go, and I'm thankful for Macro Monday's group giving me a challenge that I find always stretches my photograpy in a new direction.

There are no words to describe my feelings about this subject. I think I will be putting this minifig away for a long, long while.
A small 1.5cm rock with fossilized shells encased in ice. The warm day was getting to the ice! HMM:))
Didn't have time to photograph these berries fresh so decided to freeze them in water before they dried up. I kind of like the texture in this one with back lighting.

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
Even in clear ice I found it difficult to get the item in clear focus. I suspended several items in my small cooler trying to make clear ice. Unfortunately I used too much water and the threads were too long - jewellery ended up in cloudy ice or partially unfrozen. This was one of the few items that ended up in clear ice.

I will revisit this challenge at some time when I am not so busy. It was fun and educational. I never thought about weight and gravity when I set about freezing subjects and I was trying to cook paella and wait for a delivery while photographing the melting lumps. My favourite was these two tiny people sitting on a park bench. I think it looks kind of like a snow globe.
