Faces in Strange Places

The Curve

Still My Steal Heart

If someone would have told me even two years ago that my heart would race at the sight of steal I would have laughed. However, over that last few years I have been exploring a wider range of photographic subjects and now I tend to get rather excited about the oddest of things. Like this close up of the inside of a steal tube.

Be sure to click on the photo for a larger view, that way you get the full effect and can see the fine streaks of color in the metal. 

Or these droplets of water on the windshield, which I shared here.

Then my mind say, 'hey these two would make a really cool composite art piece' and walla; The water drops photo becomes a hard light layer over the steal photo.

And that is how my abstract mind works, especially when shooting macro and abstract photographs. Now hop over to Lisa's Chaos and enjoy some of the great macro photos shared this week.

Winter Revelations

Yesterday morning as we headed out early to run a few errands the air didn't feel all that cold but the car windshield was completely iced over. 

Sitting in the car waiting for the windshield to defrost I couldn't resist capturing a few abstract and macro shots.

Frozen Heart

 Changing focus; above focus on the defrosting windshield, below focus on the tree.

Above I was drawn to the water droplets and variations in color. Then I noticed the tiny reflection of the tree in a number of the droplets so I got in closer for this macro.

 When my daughter stepped out to clear the ice off the windshield wipers I just had to go for this abstract silhouette.
