Nice pix Michael. I guess we're in for some of that wintery mix today. Oh, the joy. We're supposed to start out with snow, and change over to freezing rain.

Ice pictures are awesome.

 

Here's a pic I took of my azalea after a big ice storm.

I call it a "picture".

 

 

Increasing/decreasing the depth of field is indeed a big part of the composition of a photo...Most point and shoot cameras that people use these days don't do it...They pretty much have an indefinite depth of field, so when somebody uses a decent camera (DSLR or higher end digi-cam) it looks a lot better just from pointing and shooting it through a normal lens.

Thanks, guys!

 

That's a nice pic of the azalea, Wingnut! :thumbsup:

 

Justin, I think you may be thinking of "macro" photography.

 

...and Tobias...

Was that from the December 2007 ice storm that hit OKC and Tulsa? We missed out on it up here in Stillwater, fortunately.

That's the one.

 

Don't ask me why my azaleas were blooming in the middle of winter during an ice storm though. I don't know anything about azaleas except that they look cool when coated in ice
