Everyone knows ice is white and clear and sometimes blue. I discovered when I was working with small slices of ice sheets in polarized light that it also has a secret life -- a gorgeous spectrum of rainbow saturated colors. It also has some amazing hidden structures that shift and grow and shrink as the ice is freezing and melting. I put together a short sequence of the most dynamic transformations.br The shot intervals were usually between 5 and 10 seconds. The ice was backlit on a slide viewer using 5000K standard light. It's funny but I found that the ice structures varied tremendously I think based on how quickly they froze...br The original video in HD can be viewed at on Vimeobr I'd love to hear feedback from others in the community who have tried similar macro video or macro timelapse work.
