Macro in winter

bosteve

So any suggestions on great Macro in wintertime?
My memorablepics.com has some summer and fall macro shots, I am wondering just how many snow (Boston) shots would be compelling, especially Macro

Berries or any plant life covered in ice/frost?


bed bugs???

It's always worth playing...

But I suppose it really depends on what our winter is like, isn't it? And while I'd like to believe that the snow that is forecast for tonight isn't going to happen, I think I need to pull my head out from my shell and be prepared for morning white stuff.

I haven't done much macro shooting yet, but I did throw the macro lens on my camera after a snow last winter to grab some images. I don't think that either of these images really falls into the macro category even though they were taken with a macro lens, need to get closer, closer, closer... I'm still learning, so my one of my goals for this winter is better macro play.



This one's a bit odd, but I thought it was worth a try...

Depends a bit on what you find interesting.
If you like bugs you can often find some in leaf litter
Lots of things to do with water- water drop shots (ie hitting a water surface), Still get dewdrops often in winter or ice/frost patterns. Drops on cds, soap bubbles.
You can buy flowers all year and photograph them - make a light box and try shooting still lifes/product shots.

What I should be doing in winter is sorting out the shots from the rest of the year but never seem to get round to it

You have access to snow and ice and frost and you don't know what to shoot .... your pulling me leg aren't you ??

I see folks have given you some really great suggestions here,
hope you can find something that interests you
