Freelensing: a Snowflake
A friend and mentor of mine suggested I try the freelensing technique with my nifty 50mm to get macro results. I love that snowflakes really do look like storybook snowflakes. I froze my fanny while working on this and I finally got one that I believe is worthy for your eyes. What do you think? Please keep in mind I am still trying to perfect this so don’t be too harsh.
Great shot, Leah! Take care, Anna

You aren’t related to my wife, are you?
WOW! So beautiful! I really like the softness created and how it focuses your attention! I’m going to have to try freelensing!
Beautiful. Looks like you are doing just fine. I may have to try this. I really love the softness.
Beautiful….good photo, even if you are critical. We are always most critical of ourselves. PS. I’d love to come back to Wyoming, but my family is here in CA, and my old bones are accustomed to the milder weather. Don’t know if I could even get around in the snow….but I have fond memories.
So lovely, I love the sparkle! I do find my eye wandering a bit though through all the blurred space up top… I wonder if a different crop would accentuate the contrast more? Thanks for sharing your photo experiments with us
That’s a great pic
Leah, could you explain more about the technique? I’ve been practicing macro shots with textiles and fibers, and I like to be able to control my aperture to focus on just a very small detail in the field, giving a crisp detail to the subject, but also leaving more to the imagination. I’m just getting started in photography, so I know practically zilch, but it is a blast!
Anyway, the shot is very interesting and artistic from my watercolorist point of view. Well done!
Wow! I love it!! Good work, and I can’t wait to see more!

Love the focus.
This is incredible, Leah! I think your efforts are praiseworthy already; can’t wait to see the magnificence of the perfected technique. Thank you for sending it out to us. You made my day.
This picture reminds me of the beginning of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. A most excellent and very cool effect.
This is a really cool photograph – congratulations!
Oh! Spectacular!
