Frost Patterns


Early one morning this week, I happened to glance outside and saw some truly amazing frost patterns on the hood of my red truck. I couldn't get outside fast enough! I quickly grabbed my camera and headed out the door, because I knew that as soon as the sun reached my driveway, they would be gone. I was amazed by the intricate patterns, lines and swirls I found!

I shot quite a few images and then moved to my husband's black SUV where I found more incredible patterns. I played with white balance when processing some of these for a cooler appearance which suits the subject well, and converted a few to black and white using NIK Silver Efex Pro.





All in all, it was a very good morning. :)

Happy shooting,
Kathleen

    These are just beautiful! Reminds me of feathers....a very lovely thing for the ending of one year and the start of another.

    K: the compositions are so beautiful. I'm quite envious. The frost itself is beautiful, of course, but the way you selected the lines and the way the lines work within the frame - bravo!

    Thanks, John! The compositional elements were endless, I could have been making photos for days if the frost hadn't started to melt as the sun rose higher in the sky!
