Frosted close-ups

A wintry complexion has landed on this part of London recently. It doesn’t happen that often, so it’s worth getting up early to have the chance to capture the white sheen of frost on cars, litter bins – even duct tape.

Cold weather photography requires a pair of fingerless gloves so you can still go about your work. But beware the tips of your fingers freezing to the point of uselessness – and don’t try to cock the shutter or adjust the lens of a cold metal Soviet beast!

Beautiful images Mike. I’ve always loved the intricate patterns that frost makes. Beauty in nature. :-)

  Thank you very much. Yes, the lure of capturing frost is hard to resist, even when it’s such cold, cold work.

  Thank you very much, Richard. The first one was found on the top of the car – how romantic!
