Macro Winter Lichen

Winter Lichen · **2 Likes**

I think of these as winter's little blooms, providing a little bit of color to the monotone landscape.

I am definitely a lichen fan! They are so interesting and so varied in shape and color, let alone how the light can play off of them. This is a great capture - I have been looking at this image a good 5 minutes already, and would go back to it again if it were in my collection. Thanks for posting!

Good find, a glimpse of color. Now if I could just get out and find these and properly photograph them? Good image. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much! I am glad that you like it.

Thanks Mike! It is so much fun wandering around and finding these little gems of subjects to photograph. If only I had more time...

Nice Macro showing a lot of detail of a small plant.

Very nice shot of that lichen.
I've found them hard to shoot with a macro because of the sliver-thin DOF on a specimen that is several mm thick.
That 35mm did a very nice job capturing a good slice all the way across the "plant" to show its framework.
Angky.

I've attempted a few shots of mini-growth on branch images. Never quite caught the image as I saw it.

But this is really excellent work, Todd. Definitely a big "Like" from me.

Thanks Angky! The 35mm definitely provides for more DOF in a shot like this.

Now that stuff looks funky, indeed. Nice shot, Todd.
