20090209 - Trapped

I found this leaf frozen in a puddle on the patio at work. Got my trusty Swiss-army knife and cut out a square of ice containing the leaf, propped it up and put a flash behind it at an angle.
Works quite well I think.
Though this is the only one of sixteen takes that came out exactly as I wanted it in-camera with no messing about. Wish I knew exactly how I did it!

One of those 'best viewed in original' type piccies!

He only carries a Swiss army knife to keep the rest of us shirkers under control.

Do you have your flashguns strapped to your belt at work? haha. Whatever, this is a fantastic shot... looks like liquid silver.

If all our in-camera work turned out like this Adobe would go bankrupt. Great work.

A perfect image is always a miracle! But you did great! Too bad I don't carry a Swiss-army knife LOL V
