I really wanted to take pictures of neon puddles, but at the same time find something new. When I went outside, it was plus six. Puddles are like puddles... But closer to midnight, the water began to become covered with a crust of ice, and then the magic began (although the usual physics).
I have never shot ice crystals with bright colored reflections from store signs and glowing banners.
The weather allowed me to find something new in this neon world at night, but I had to wait for that.
This is the discovery of the year for me!
This is heaven and earth, compared to what I shot with ice surfaces a couple of years ago.
But those also has a right to be and is even valuable, as it is the result of a search.
I've been looking...long...And I found it! And I'm happy!
Of course, few people will understand this, much less appreciate it.
But I'm still happy inside with what this world has given me!
It was not easy to find frozen puddles - I actually traveled almost the entire city.
And every time I find something, I have a question: is it really possible to find something else, or is this the limit?
I've even tried to shoot reflections on vertical surfaces.
I remember all the stages of the search...I remember the first time back in November 2019, when I noticed neon reflections in puddles and all sorts of details.
And I came to this! I just can't believe it!
Now I would to wait for severe night frosts and go looking again!
This topic must be thoroughly explored!
I will return to this world, which is so magical and beautiful, more than once.
Puddles, freeze, I'm coming for you!!!
