A while back, I acquired the amazing OM systems pro 90mm f3.5 macro lens. This is a unique piece of optics, rather expensive, but one of the best macro lenses ever made. It sat for a while unused, as I didn't have any particular subjects in mind. But a month ago, I was out walking in the local (Royal) park in the early morning with a friend, and we noticed the frozen tips of the ferns glinting in the low morning sun. It occurred to me that frozen tips of plants and buds might make an interesting set of images to christen the 90mm lens with. I spent a fascinating hour or so in the freezing morning light in our Japanese gardens a day later and took around 1600 images (for various reasons it's about 50x images per view). Here are the 12 best, and I hope you like them.
