photoartflightBird Pattern In Ice
I am cleaning up some of my old backup drives, eliminating duplicate files and just generally deleting unnecessary files. And in the process, I also found interesting files to post here. I liked ice images I recently saw on Stephen Gingold Nature Photography Blog. I found a series of ice images from about 10+ years ago. So I thought I would post some here. The featured image was a 2 shot pano captured with a Canon 70-300mm DO lens @ 300mm, aligned & blended in Photoshop. Also the featured image was photographed in early morning cooler light. It reminded me of a Bird with the beak to the left.

Beautiful forms and patterns, Reed. I find ice endlessly fascinating– like snowflakes, no two are alike!
Thanks Eliza! They were fun to photograph!
Stunning compositions, I instantly saw the bird, followed by a palm frond, another bird, a fish, a chicken, and finally a starburst. Love this! (Hey, can you see the chicken? hee hee)
Thanks Donna! Still looking for the chicken!
Nice collection, Reed. I like them all, nope don’t see the chicken either 🙂 , but especially the fourth with the nice spire-like structures.
Oh! If it’s the composition with the oak leaf then I do see it. 🙂
I still do not see it! I think the oak leaf looks like. Breaching Whale! But I tend to see thinks differently than most!!
Donna will have to straighten us out. but I think it’s the ice above and to the left, not the leaf itself… unless it’s the off-white thing behind the star pattern in the last. Paging Donna! 🙂
I really enjoyed these wonderful patterns! Striking!
Thanks so much! They are fun to photograph! It is interesting to see the patterns and framing you can come up with. I tend to like including natural elements in with ice patterns to add interest and scale.
Beautiful ice patterns, love it.
Thanks Greta! It is fun to see what compositions you can find!
