Challenge 394: A touch of frost
I woke up to a very frosty morning a few weeks ago, and was struck by the intricate texture the frost made on the table outside my house - particularly around the knot hole (I would have taken the table back to the manufacturer when the knot fell out, but as I made it myself I had no-one to complain to). The frost looked like - well, what did it look like? Give me your best guess and I'll show you all next week. The photo here is one I took a couple of hours later, after the frost had thawed. Of course, this being the Forum, I don't expect any of you to limit yourselves to just adding frost... High res is here. ![]() |

Re: Challenge 394: A touch of frost
Realising that the last two weeks I have somewhat side stepped the challenge by opting for a fun montage rather than attempting the technical challenge Steve set for us, guilt took hold this week - so here is my attempt at creating a frosty look. PS. GKB I was just about to upload my attempt when I noticed the very close resemblance with your idea (I didn’t copy, honest) it just goes to show great minds thin alike! I might have to have another go now though. ![]() |

Not on brief, but with spring on the way I wanted to leave the frost behind on table top mountain. ![]() |

The star is one of my backyard bird seed thieves that I photographed during a snowy frosty day. He loves good hiding spots to consume his booty. Excellent challenge Steve. Frank high res: http://users.eastlink.ca/~fbwhite/frost.jpg ![]() |
