Icy Abstracts
A bit of a departure from what I’ve been posting lately but I thought I would mix things up a little. I was walking my dog on Saturday when I noticed some beautiful icicles forming on the tree outside my house. After we got in (and Brady got his treat) I grabbed my camera, put on my Tamron 90mm Macro lens and headed outdoors.
I processed the first image in Photoshop then ran it through Topaz Simplify to give it a bit more of a stylized look. You can download any of the Topaz plugins for a free trial and don’t forget to use the discount code ELPHOTO for a 15% savings.
Click on the images to enlarge (the detail is much better) or to Purchase a Print.
Amazing captures Edith!! I think I really need a macro lens

Thanks Cindy. I do enjoy my macro. The Henry’s show is coming up in May.
Let me know if you’re planning to go. I’ll be there one of the days as my Photography club will have a table.

I will be going for sure, and it would be great to actually meet you in person
. I usually go on the Saturday, so we will have to see if that works.
February 13, 2013 at 8:40 pm
I’d love to meet you too. I’ll let you know when I’ll be there as we get closer.

Oh by the way as I understand it if your looking for frames and other accessories apparently Henry’s slashes its prices on the Sunday since its the last days. The deals are supposed to be great.
February 13, 2013 at 8:43 pm
Sounds good
. As for the Sunday, I would love to see the deals, but it’s not open as many hours on the Sunday. I’ll have to see what the schedule looks like.

You know me and macros, love them, nice work! I am thinking of getting an extension tube set for mine, any experience?
February 15, 2013 at 4:05 pm
Thanks Mike. I do have a set of extension tubes and used them with my other lens (before I got my Macro lens) and got good results. I haven’t tried them with my Macro but I should.
