- thanks PaulNicely spotted and well captured Lorraine. I love the crystalline patterns ice makes. We also see some fascinating ones up the mountains where the (fairly high) winds blow the powder snow into amazing formations which can sometimes look quite similar: very leaf-like.
The colour cast is what it is - it's still monotone whether B&W, sepia or whatever... and for me that monotone helps focus on the pattern itself, so it works well.
Great start and look forward to seeing your next submission...
- thanks Cobra - I can see what everyone means about the forestA very nice start, I have to agree about #2 it does look like a snow blown forest.
I like it a lot
- thanks MandyLooks like your off to a good start with your challenge, lovely patterns and two has the edge for me.
Welcome aboard Lorraine and you're off to an absolutely flying start.
Those are both quite beautiful, although I agree with the general consensus that the 'forest scene' is the stronger pattern.
Yes, they are quite blue - but in the context of the subject, I think that actually works very well.
They're the type of thing that I could spend ages just gazing at and seeing different patterns.
p.s. I've added a link back to this thread to the 'pictures only' thread for you
- Thanks StanA nice practice submission, Lorraine. Very apt for the current cold mornings. Nice patterns and a nicely taken shot.
- thanks Ferg,the frost was really very deep - it did wonders for my car, it's the nicest it's ever looked, I'm glad the shots worked out so wellVery nice! Number 2 especially.... If I didn't know any better I'd put money on it being an oil painting, you can practically see the brush strokes the longer you look at it! [emoji4]
- thanks MartinAs Harlequin says, 2 looks just like a cold forest, makes me feel chilly just looking at it
- thanks JohnNice patterns in the two images, the second one gets it for me though, if it was the other way up it could almost look like feathers.
- thanks MarkVery nice
#2 made me think of feathers when I saw it.
- thanks GrahamLove #2 Lorraine it really looks like a frozen landscape
Yeah, I like them, both work for me. The detail is superb and I feel #1 could handle a crop from the top. Maybe a little under exposed as well. That said, I might nip out and see what I can get tomorrow
Hi Lorraine .... what a great start ....I love both of those ....frost creates such amazing pictures doesn't it. The blue complements them perfectly .... a smashing choice for the theme.
did you manage to get any shots today?
Great start with those 2 shots. The patterns are amazing and number 2 does it for me. I've got no chance shooting anything like that here in Spain
2nd shot for me too, the slight blue tint just adds to it.
Beautifully taken. Agree with others No 2 has the edge although some nice patterns in 1. The blueness makes the shot in light of the cold and frostiness. if you changed colours it would not look right.
Hi Lorraine & welcome to the 52's madhouse
I'm gonna have to love these shots as I had the same thought !
Trickier than you'd think trying to get good shots of the patterns created when they're on your windscreen I found.....#2 one for me as well , does indeed look like a forest of frosty tree's
Nice the weather has been kind for these pattern shots this week. Picture #2 for me
Good Luck for your 2015 52 challenge.
I like No. 2 as well. A really nice pattern and great detail. I like the hint of blue but it would be interesting to see what it would look like after experimenting with the white balance.
2 for me, really reminds me of a forest, though 1 does too, but with two trees in the foreground!
Welcome Lorraine
My car looked the same two mornings ago .... tried but couldn't capture it.
Well done.
Welcome to 2015 52s Lorraine. Two great shots to start and it's hard to choose between them, but I think #2 just has the edge With 68 starters for the year, I don’t think any of us have a chance of commenting on every entry every week, but I hope to keep popping in to each thread at least once in a while. Good luck with the rest of the year.
Looks like the link in the Photos Only thread, takes you back to the Photos Only thread. You need to add a link to this thread
Good start.
Cheers.
