And now for a more abstract shot again, which I took about a year and a half ago.

As you prob­ably already guessed, it shows a spider web covered with ice crys­tals. Nature at its best pro­duces these typ­ic­ally in the winter time, com­bin­ing thick fog with freez­ing tem­per­at­ures.

Tech­nic­ally it was quite hard to shoot, as my fin­gers were pretty much frozen after a few minutes… No, but ser­i­ously now, although the crys­tals were very pretty and all it was rather dif­fi­cult to make them look good on sil­icon. I exper­i­mented a bit and ended up using a flash gun dir­ectly below the net shoot­ing straight up.

This not only gave the crys­tals nice “three dimen­sional” char­ac­ter, but it also helped to pretty much remove the (fairly cluttered) back­ground of the stu­dent res­id­ences’ rub­bish dump…

Just like now, I think I got a cold out of this shot.
