Ice Shoot

Ice 1

Inspirations from Nick Cobbing lead me to looking into patterns created by Ice in cubes and individual crystals. Nick Cobbing obviously focuses on larger Ice landscapes and patterns within glaciers. In these images I have focused on the smaller scale Ice attempting to capture the individual crystals and patterns within the frozen cubes of water.

Being able to capture the patterns links in with the rest of my work on water movement as these patterns were created by the movement within the water as if froze.

To make the patterns within the ice crystals more visible I have edited certain aspects of the images.



In the first edit I have enhanced the shadow and lighting contrast giving the image a more defined depth of field and making the Ice crystals in the foreground exaggerated. In this image I really like the lighting. I used a standard desk lamp to give a hard light to the ice which also creates strong shadows. When editing the lighting on these the light goes through the block making the focus point the light perceived to be within the ice.



The second edit seems to capture the melting of the ice which in the watery effect reflects the light out of the image as a centre point. The section of ice in the foreground of the image placed slightly to the left third represents the patterns within the ice best creating a frozen water ripple effect.
