Header Challenge: ice
February 27, 2013
Lew picked "ice" for today's challenge. We were told that it can be any shape or color, so I'm eager to see the other creations. Check out my pals for their interpretations on this theme: Fishing Guy, Katney, Imac and Lew.This winter has been unseasonably warm, but we still have some icicles to show. It's neat how a night shot of these are not colorless, but they reflect some amber from a streetlight, and some blue from my house.
How about a nice black & white that looks like the ice was formed from carbonated water? Look at all those tiny bubbles!
One Monday morning, I was stopped in my tracks by how the light reflected off the ice. The twinkling was added by in-camera effects.
The selection for this week's header was an experiment on a cold and dreary night. I wanted so badly to take a picture of SOMETHING. I'm sure you can identify with that, right? I put an ice cube on a black surface, with a black background, and shone a laser pointer into it. I was hoping to make a cold thing look hot. What do you think? Did it work?

Looks like it is floating in the night! Love your icicles!
Just say Mac's swan and came over to see what's freezing here. :)
Your header ice has a rather sci-fi glow to it.
Love the blue icicles!
Gives the term "icy hot" an image, Craver. Great job on the header photo. I especially love your last photo, too. Beautiful!!
