_That scrote shrinking cold_

It was pretty damn cold out yesterday. That scrote shrinking cold that makes one hesitate about even stepping outside unnecessarily, let alone going for an extended walk through the snow to photograph trees covered in hoarfrost. But risk my boys I did, and out I went for an hour to shoot some of the most beautiful hoarfrost I've seen this year.

And for anyone who thinks they need fancy cameras and special gear to do good macro work, most of you have a more than adequate one for it right in your pockets. All the closeup shots below were taken with just the iPhone camera, which can focus down to just centimetres away from your subject. And the closer you are to something, the shallower your depth of field will be, giving you beautiful blurry backgrounds, while still maintaining adequate sharpness to show off the texture of the frost. The wider shots were taken with my Fuji cameras.

























So there you are, get outside and make some art.
