Hi all 😁 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how to).
This week’s Fan Of… the magnification of ice crystals in a lensball.
I was recently up at Palacerigg Country Park on a cold winters morning. I’d literally just raced the sun to the top of the park for the first sunrise shots of the New Year.

Happy with the sunrise shots, I headed off to a different part of the park for more lensball landscape shots.

The wood that lensy was sat on had frost on it where the crystals had grown in the shape of the wood grain.

I noticed that looking down through the lensball, the ice crystals were magnified, with a star burst effect round the outside 😎



The next shots were taken in a slightly different place.

The ice structure was very different.

Whoa!
This is truly remarkable, Jez. Really amazing work 🙂
I have a friend who got a lens ball for Christmas and I am going to send her the link to this post. I love the ice crystals in the lens ball.
Fantastic, I think she’ll have a lot of fun. Is she on wordpress; I’m always interested to see what ideas others come up with 😃
These are beautiful!
The ice crystals are amazing! I had some on my kitchen window, different structures. I really should have taken photos but I didn’t – silly me!
Those enlarged ice crystals are so pretty. It’s like looking deep into someone’s eyes. 🙂
What a fantastic description 😊
Always great see the fun you have with the lens ball, Jez. And capturing the winter weather is giving great results
Thnak you so much, Debbie 😊
