Snowflake macros... this is why I love my 1020!

[JernejB]

We had some snow over the past days and let me tell you I was waiting for this opportunity for over a year, we just didn't have any snow till now.
So finally it snowed! I took my black felt and my macro lens, strapped to my lumia 1020 with a elastic string and went to the balcony to freeze my *** of for two hours (It was totally worth it!) So the next logical thing was to share them with the community, to show that the 1020 is still a world class camera phone, so here they are.

And a final thought: I'm definitely buying the 10xx when it comes out, no questions asked.

Wonderful shots. The L1020 does take good photos, so good that we've got a dedicated thread for it.

Ops I guess I missed that one. Well in that case s flood of new pictures is coming. :grin:

Beautiful pictures though! Was the black and white effect post editing?

 

[JernejB]

No there has been no post editing except cropping.

What macro lens do you speak of?

I used macro lens I found on ebay: [FONT=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif]0.45X Wide Angle Lens with Macro 58mm (I'm a newbie so i can't post a link jet [/FONT]rly:).
I used the small one for phones, but those are to small for the Lumia 1020 lens and they distort the image much more that this big one that I'm using now. The only drawback with this one is that you have to be careful that the phone lens is in the centre of the macro one, because if it's not it the images become a bit fuzzy (I lost a few lovely snowflakes because of this).
