Dangerous Frost

by Mike Ezell

Wasau, Wisconsin

Macro image of an electric fence (in Wasau, Wisconsin) designed to keep cows in the pasture. Some fog rolled in the night before, so I knew there would be "chunky frost" on everything in the morning. So the next morning I set out and saw this along my walk. I chose the "Incandescent" white balance to give the image a "cold feeling" (as it was cold that morning with a temp of -5). I was a little nervous taking the picture because the camera was only about an inch from the fence, and the fence was on; and if the fence can keep a cow in, it must have some serious current running through it.

Really nice imagine. Great photo idea and I learned something about white balance from your explaination. Thanks. BTW, I touched an electric fence by accident once while photographing horses. It got my attention, but caused no serious damage.

Unique and beautiful textural detail here, Mike. I esp like the color and clarity...nicely isolated from the other background elements too. Well done. MFC

great macro. I really like the contrast of the sharp crystals against the dark blue-black background. very artistic. kind of eerie in an interesting way -johnebones
