A frozen pond opens windows to another world.

I carried out no post-processing for this image. I selected the “vivid” pre-set in program mode on my camera for this photo.

  Thanks, Steve, and thanks for your interest in my photo. I shoot with a Panasonix Lumix DMX LX5 (which has a F2.0 ultra-wide-angle 24mm Leica DC Vario-Summicron lens). I am still a newbie to photography, and after a lot of consultation with other more experienced photographers in my family, I opted for the Lumix (and love it). I don’t feel ready, yet (but am on the verge, I think) of stepping up to an SLR. The Lumix is a great compact digital camera that handles most of the shots I want to take at the moment. My process has been gradual… I am really learning (and teaching myself) as I go. I guess that’s what a lot of people do. My camera setting for this particular image: ISO 400, f4.0, 1/3200 sec. BTW, it’s definitely Melanie (I’ve never liked to be called “Mel”). Some people call me “Lemony” (an inversion of Melanie).

this is stunning! the colours are amazing, and I never would have guessed this wasn’t shot with a dSLR (more proof that it’s not the camera that makes the image beautiful, but the photographer).

  Thank you so much. I really like my Lumix and may one day move up to a dSLR, but for now I feel like I still have plenty to learn with the equipment I have. I appreciate your stopping by!

Wow….that’s really neat. Beautiful shot! Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen frozen bubbles before…

  Thanks, Desiree (Desi). I’ll be posting more frozen bubble shots in the coming days. I became completely taken with them (read “obsessed” :-)) They’re really very beautiful. I wish I could go back now to Maine to take more pictures!

another great example from your series..the color (almost serving as a background) with the more monochromatic bubble complement each other very well ! beautiful work
