What is all of:

  • Small (or has small-scale detail)
  • Photogenic
  • Still around in winter?

Spiders and insects are less available for close-up photos as the weather gets colder, so I'm on the lookout for other possible subjects. Suggestions welcome.

Recent examples:

Frost and ice can be pretty interesting later in the year, if you're prepared to get up early.

Ph, and yuor first <li> ends with an <li> tag rather than a </li>

Also, the second item in the second list closes an <a> tag with another <a> instead of a </a>. This appears to lead, in my Firefox, to an effect I'd have been more likely to expect from a stray <br> after the next <li>, which seems very bizarre.

SIGH. If lj wasn't RUBBISH it would have a VALIDATOR and all this stuff would be caught early.

I'd agree that frost (http://photos.geah.org/cgi-bin/frame.cgi/2003/college/aa01.jpg) works.

(Taking my inspiration from the title of your post) cheese? Actually various foodstuffs, I'd have thought - biscuits, pasta shapes, cooked/raw meat, tealeaves, crisps, bread, cucumber, tomato.....

Electronics?

Dead leaves / decaying wood; fabrics; food (eg http://www.gastronomydomine.com/ food blog). Rocks. Glass.

Eyes. Take lots of freaky/beautiful eye close-ups

Many more shiney stones (engagement rings, other jewelry etc)

Lets hope that Ian, Clare and Naath et al don't mind being refered to as small (albeit photogenic)and therefore will stick around in winter.

Question: I know you have lovely new toy and want to play with it but given the quality of your pics, have you ever considered landscapes? Winter is an amazing time for atmosphere and I can see that you would get a lot out of a woodland with stark branches or the bleakness of the sea shore - bound to find small detail too.

It's a good point. I do try landscapes from time to time but so far have rarely been satisfied with the results. This is one of the better ones (http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/photos/2005-12-11/IMG_5449.JPG) (2.3M).

I agree with [livejournal.com profile] pjc50 that bits of electronics (components, connectors, etc.) might be photogenic close-up.

Other than that, textiles, especially intricately-patterned parts of the weave? Coinage? Fountain pens? Watch or lock mechanisms? Asthma inhaler being discharged? Book bindings? Sugar with a drop of ink dissolving it? Piped icing? Flake bar?

Walls.

Seriously, maybe it's just the mineralogist in me speaking, but Cambridge is *full* of beautiful stone - buildings, paving slabs, walls... everywhere.

Baby! (Yes yes, I know he is at least one order of magnitude bigger than spiders etc.)

Grass. Tree bark. Some fabrics.

Tree bark. (OK, that one was taken in late-spring, not winter.)

Yup. Frost, stones (especially in the slanting light that's about so much at this time of year; hell, even a field of grass looks good like that), Things You Find On The Ground In Woodland. Birds if you can catch 'em still.

I must get my frosty Derbyshire pics from last year up...
