I don't seem to get frost like this. Is it because we're not cold enough, or because we're double-glazed, or what? I'm on Cape Cod, we have had a major cold snap (for us) and a blizzard (icecicles galore) but no frost like this. Temps in the 10 degree fahrenheit range is as low as we've gone.

On the other hand, the icicles are doing great. I shot this one as a "full" icecicle, then realized if I cropped it down and laid it on its side it looked like a mountain range...

That is a neat shot and creative presentation!

Justin,

Wonderful frost prints. Happy to see you have a window conducive to frost. I've found you need a dark background in order to have the frost jump out, as in your second photo. My colorful frost photos are taken on an east window with the sunrise behind the frost creating those wonderful colors. Good luck!

My first ice photographs ever....

Ice monoliths on the southeastern shores of Lake Michigan. The whole landscape had been transformed with frozen waves and giant ice chunks piled up in debris heaps by the force of the freeze thaw cycle. This was taken at sunrise, facing west towards Chicago. Tripod mounted, with circular polarizer filter. The colors of the sky were there when I was taking the shot, but weren't readily apparent in the original digicam image. I ran Curves in Photoshop and out popped the colors!

Why thank you Robert, arngrimur, eruelas, and cloud. It consistently amazes me how the truly worldly, these crystals of frost on my windows, can appear so otherworldly. I love waking to see what each winter night grows in ice. I'll be taking more!

Great shot, could be composed better but I like it. Gullfoss is an awesome place to visit during the winter months, don´t you agree?

When everything is frozen like this you don't stop long to compose :)
Seriously, this is a beautiful spot, no matter what season.

This is one of my all time favorites of ice, intentionally shot it at 2800 kelvin in broad daylight to get the blue colour.
