frosty berries (10 macro foto)

For me, rose hip berries are very beautiful in almost any form. Although, I admit that dried berries collected in a paper bag for long-term storage do not make much of an impression. But look at these ripe, shriveled, foragable berries hanging off the branches, in the very place where Mother Nature worked on them. These textures, silvered with silver frost, are simply irresistible.

On this short morning walk, I paid a visit to a neighboring yard to check a snowy rose hip bush, then admired and photographed frozen viburnum berries, and spent five minutes watching the rowan berries. Unfortunately, it was an ordinary office day, my duties in the office were waiting for me, I could not spend hours on macro fotography. But I'm glad that I managed to take 90 photos - now I have something to show you.

Fresh photos! And I have no other photos, all this time I was not having fun, not celebrating, nothing to brag about. We have extremely short daylight hours, and in addition, cloudy weather - there are no sunny days, which are so beautifully combined with snow-covered trees and forests.

As a photographer, I really like to "process" photographs of such an undefined color, neutral pale gray or white, darkened, even dirty... they can be easily taken "by the hand" and from this starting point moved to any other place ... to a different color location. Such photos become a festival and a pleasant meditation in Photoshop, always with surprising and gratifying result.

I'm ready to fill my entire post with photos of rose hips ... but you need to leave a little space for the rest of the participants? .. Viburnum berries.

I hope I will not spoil your impression of my post if I allow you a little look "into my kitchen". Below is the original photo before Photoshop processing, as the camera "saw" it. I think the difference between camera and my eye / photographers job is self-evident...

These bunches of berries remind me of the tenacious bird's legs, gripping their tasty prey.

The berries below look almost the same - they are also red, and also covered with snow, but this is rowan. At this spot I took only a few shots (considering doing later some macro focus-stacking), holstered the camera in my backpack and ran to work. To be continued in my next post (or posts).
