A fun winter macro exercise - the patterns are temperature and humidity dependent.

This was done at about - 20 C

Very, very nice macro photography Rodger! Did you freeze your fingers?

Cheers

Thank you kindly Ernie... almost - it was pretty freakin' chilly and the fingers were like ice but then I saw my bigger gloves could operate the camera. I only have to set the focus the use a 2 s delay on the shutter button.

So the first round the fingers were freezing but the 2nd was much better.

The real deal is a bubble backlit by sunrise because the water crystals will break the light spectrum up and it has a rainbow effect

Thanks, that was brilliant my friend.
