Frozen viola. Inspired by an article I read recently.
Makes cool art and can be used afterwards if edible flowers are used.
Macro Mondays. This week's theme: refreshments.
I chose a glass of Kombucha. And a slice of lemon. I just read yesterday that the consumption of Kombucha has increased by a staggering 170% over the last year, making it the most popular soft drink alternative in Australia. Happy Macro Monday/ HMM

Here is a other photo i took at the diamond beach in Iceland. It was taken in july when there is mid night sun in Iceland so even tough i was there at 2 in the morning the light was still there. i can admid tough that it is hard to get the right amount of light in the summertime there, it is so bright that you need a nd filter. and i would recomand being there in tha fall, as the light is much better. I will atempt to go there next fall to get even better photos.
What do you think?
2 little blue flowers in an ice cube.
This is 5cm.
Happy Macro Monday.

It took two days until the ice cubes and the tray were frozen the way I wanted them to be.
Photographed with a selective focusstack at 2300 Kelvin color temperature.

I tried this technique before without success. This time I used distilled water and the frozen ice came out much clearer!
I had to work fast as it is hot here.

There's this new thing: longevity. And ice bathing is one of the hottest trends in that respect. It is supposed to boost our resilience, strength, clarity of mind, and more. Ice bathing does it all. Or does it really? I'm not sure, because I've never tried it. But this little guy has, a few times since last night, and look how happy it has made him. Maybe, just maybe, he has taken things a little too far, but he keeps assuring me that he feels gorgeous. "Put me back into the freezer, it's much too warm in your place!" So I did.
Well, there are century-old traditions like the Finnish sauna or other bathing traditions that combine hot and cold treatments, so there probably is something to ice bathing. Maybe I will dig deeper into the issue once Mr. Bones is defrosted so he can tell me all about it. Maybe I will also defrost him in warm water to give him the full experience, because before I put him in the ice bath and froze him, he never complained about it "being too warm" in my place. We'll see.
I seriously had no idea what to put into water to freeze. Actually, I could have put anything into the ice cube mould, and then simply taken a decent photo of it, but, as usual, this freedom of choice blocked me out. Until I found Mr. Bones while searching for the skull mould I had already used for another ice theme. The ice cube mould was just a little too small for this mini Lego figure, so I put him in an egg holder that also made a nice round ice cube shape.
I did focus stacking (in camera, 15 images, combined in Helicon Focus, method A, R8, S4). For the green light, I placed the green bottle in front of one of the LED lamps and put a silvery "reflector" (cardboard) on the opposite side of that lamp. To make the ice glow, I used two LED flashlights, set on spot, one placed behind the ice cube, and the other placed in front of it. The fourth light source was my natural light photo lamp from above.

For the Macro Monday challenge "Zed" (May 10th 2021)
The challenge is that the word you choose must include the letter Z.
Given the long freezing winter we have endured, it was maybe not surprising that I chose "froZen" and looked out the ice-cube tray!
This is a snail shell frozen in tonic water, which I hoped would give me lots of bubbles. It was a bit disappointing, as it was cloudy when frozen - but some of the cubes came out with 'holes' that looked like ice caverns. It was a fun way to spend a morning, chasing the shots before the ice cubes melted!
The ice cubes are about 4cmx3cm.
HMM!! and stay safe and well this week!

Another study for this week's Macro Mondays theme, "Guilty Pleasure."
Glenmorangie Scotch and ice cube in a 3-inch inch diameter cut glass tumbler. Shot from above, lit from below with a speedlight and double diffuser.
I am not sure if this reads any more clearly as a glass of Scotch than the first attempt. There is a strong graphic quality which is in-camera - I made modest adjustments to global contrast and color temperature in LR and PS.
This is a tiny bunny, I found it in the Easter deco section of a shop and couldn't pass it up. It seems to look a bit worried about being encased in ice.
The visible bit is 2cm high
Now for my 2nd imagery for the Macro task for "In Ice" I created a lit fairy light frozen in ice, created from a pastry cutter, representing a flower, and through this evoking Winter and the Pandemic, and all of us waiting for the thaw of Spring to arrive, literally and metaphorically.
while documenting the most recent texas freeze, i decided to use a straight out of camera fuji recipe that i've been cooking up, trying to simulate 70s motion picture film with a moderately heavy color shift and high contrast. based on pro neg high.
shot with a fujifilm x-s10 and a tamron adaptall 2 sp 80-200mm f/2.8 (model 30A) lens
Given enough wind and waves, the sheet ice that once filled this bay on the St. Lawrence gets pulverized.

Theme: Water
Size: Less than 3x3 inches
The subject is melting ice cubes on a tray with water that has blue dye added. Natural sunlight through glass doors.
Some facts on water....
There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was formed. The water from your faucet could contain molecules that dinosaurs drank.
Nearly 97% of the world’s water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just 1% for all of humanity’s needs — all its agricultural, residential, manufacturing, community, and personal needs.
Water regulates the Earth’s temperature. It also regulates the temperature of the human body, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, cushions joints, protects organs and tissues, and removes wastes.
75% of the human brain is water and 75% of a living tree is water.
A person can live about a month without food, but only about a week without water.
Water is part of a deeply interconnected system. What we pour on the ground ends up in our water, and what we spew into the sky ends up in our water.
Water expands by 9% when it freezes. Frozen water (ice) is lighter than water, which is why ice floats in water.
Many thanks for your visit, comments and favs...it is always appreciated.
