Ice and bokeh

[SquarePeg]

Inspired by the video posted by @Jens Heidler in this thread. Winter Macro using Ice and Sunlight

If not for having seen this video a few days before, I would not have dragged myself out into the cold the day after the storm when I saw that the trees were covered with ice.

Except for #3 which was taken with a Fuji 60mm, the rest were taken with a Pentacon AV 80mm 2.8 lens to create the bubble bokeh. It’s not the sharpest - it’s more of an art lens than a macro. These have been edited to give them an abstract look. Comments and critique always welcome.

Quite surreal. The last particularly.

Nicely done. #1 for me. I definitely get a wintry feel from it and the contrast between the white and blue give it a bit more depth.

You need to cut back on your bokeh, it's overwhelmingly awesome!
Fantastic set, thanks for sharing.

Very pretty! These turned out great. Would make a nice wall series.

Nice set! I need to get out and try this too after watching Jens' video. We're finally starting to get some snow so should have an opportunity soon.

This is my favorite as well. I wish I’d taken a few more from further back. Next time!

Thanks! I’ve been trying to stay close to home and still have some fun.

Thanks. Interesting idea about the wall series. Maybe in my hallway during the winter months and swap them out with something beachy in summer...

Thanks. Yes that video was great. If anyone hasn’t watched it yet, it’s worth your time for sure.
