Picture of water dropping from icicles - Sunny day in Northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera March 20th 2008. Click image for larger view.

Here I have photographed water drops falling from some icicles that were melting on a sunny day here in Northern Norway. In the picture I used the fjord and snow clad mountains as a background to the icicle. I also used a low f-stop to get the background out of focus as I wanted the icicle and water drops to “pop out” in the photo.

Check out my other macro photo of a falling water drop.

    Hi Thomas,
    Thanks for the words of encouragement it is much appreciated.
    I just love your icicle picture, the capture is just spot on. Like Wangbu I feel it could also be used to show how our world is changing in respect of global warming.

    Cheers Mark

    Amazing. I felt like I was holding my breath looking at this photo, such a quick glimpse. I’m from a very warm place (we’re expecting it to be 30C today), so this sight has almost a mysterious element to me–a scene never to be seen during our winters. Lovely.

    I agree with Dano, you are GOOD. The water droplets and icicle are nice but I also like the way it looks in the background. It has me wondering what it all looks and feels like.

    Great capture, Thomas — and your use of the “blurry” background did indeed make the water droplets “pop out.” Well done.
