Frost on Glass



Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Tamron SP90 Macro
f/16 at 1/125
ISO 100
Nikon SB-600 Speedlight
Manfrotto 055 Tripod

When I headed out yesterday morning to take some pictures, I made it only as far as the car where I paused to shoot the frost on the driver’s side window. I used a small aperture to try to get enough depth of field to see as much of the intricate details as possible.

If I used only ambient light, trees and other things in the environment could be seen in the photograph through the window. However, using my flash allowed me reduce all of the background to black. I tried both backlighting and front lighting. The image presented here was the best of the bunch and was front lit.
