Later that day I walked outside and plucked some blossoms off the azalea in my yard.  After several days in the freezer, it was ready for my garage studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I especially like the ice crystals along the top back edge of the ice.  The cracks and bubbles in the ice add visual interest.  I placed the ice block on top of an upturned glass.  In the final image this almost looks like a reflection of the ice block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One word of caution: work fast!  Those nice ice crystals start melting after a few minutes.  The bloom sticking out of the top starts wilting after 15 minutes or so.  Other than that, this is a nice project to save for a rainy day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garage Photography<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nikon D810, 5.0 sec, f\/20, 90m, ISO 200 One day I read an article about&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[540],"tags":[732,734,422,733,618],"class_list":["post-2943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-garage-photography","tag-azalea","tag-frozen","tag-garage-photography","tag-ice","tag-photography"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2943"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2966,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2943\/revisions\/2966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
