#1 is a wooden statue shot in natural light.
#2 is a multiple image PS shot of snowmen refraction in a sucrose drop hung on a tinsel strand (took me about 10 minutes to get the drop on the strand :) )

Wow man....your shots consistantly impress me. As a relative newcomer to the hobby, "snowman reflected in sucrose hanging from tinsel" had not occured to me to try!! great shots.

Love the snowman drops - I suspected you might come up with some festive drops lol.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Can't wait to get my 100mm macro.

Nice work. How far away are the drops from the snowman? 5cm? 10cm?

[LordV]

Thanks for the comments all :)
I'm not totally happy the way the snowmen came out so might have to have another go at a festive macro.
The snowmen models are only about 5 or 6cms high so they were fairly close to the droplets about 3cms behind the droplet I'd guess. I used the same droplet for 3 different snowmen.

Great ideas with the refraction shots! Did you use a tripod for the figurine?

Thanks Al-
No, no tripod- not really even a macro shot- taken with my Tamron 28-75mm in macro mode (think it's about .25:1) 800IS0 F2.8.

Hiya Brian,
Excellent shots, in what way are you not happy with the Snowmen? I can't remember the name of the programme but they remind me of Harry Worth doing an optical trick he did with glass doors ??
Cheers for now

Thanks Mark :)
Yes I remember the Harry Worth window trick :)

On the snowmen didn't quite get the focus right on all the snowmen plus was not totally happy with the composition (even though I arranged it)
