Nikon Wednesday 2013: #50

<p>Jim Palmer - that is the niftiest looking ice pattern I've ever seen. Looks almost like snakeskin or fish scales. Any idea how it formed that way?</p>

<p>Lex,<br>

Thanks. Some places it looks lacy and in others like geometric polygons and others just random shapes. No idea what caused it. I didn't really notice the details until I processed the shots. The ice was starting to melt so I don't know if the details formed on freezing or at the onset of melting. </p>

<p>Happy Wednesday Everyone.</p><div></div>

<p>The bummer is that I'm in grieving stage....sold my D700, but on the brighter side the new rig is on the horizon :>).</p><div></div>

<p>Eric, nice image, but you used a wrong camera and lens. To shoot a retro-style portrait, you are required to use a Nikon Df with a pre-AI lens. :-)</p>

<p>Western Grebes are divers. They dive down to fish. If you miss the action, you'll end up with water splashes, although in this case, I inteneded to get the splash on purpose.</p><div></div>
