Description
My first attempt at snowflake-photography,inspired by s wonderful snowflake pics (if you want to see some truly great snowflakes, go and visit her gallery
). It wasn't easy because it is actually too warm for snow right now, and the snowflakes kept melting before I had a chance to get camera and tripod into position.
Still, I wouldn't have wanted to miss this experience. I'll never see snow the same way again.

Never seen a snowflake this close. Actually, never seen snow at all but that's not the point...

It's fascinating, isn't it? I never thought snowflakes would look like that until I saw them through my macro lens.

Frankly I never thought I'd see one snowflake this close. It's incredible that they have those patterns.

Snowflakes are really amazing, especially since they all have different patterns. I never thought they'd look so lovely (actually, I never thought about how snowflakes might look like until I saw some macro pics of them on DA

Ich hab noch nie eine echte so schΓΆn auskristallisierte schneeflocke gesehen - wie groΓ war sie denn?

Diese Schneeflocke war vielleicht drei oder vier Millimeter im Durchmesser. Bevor ich diese Bilder gemacht habe hatte ich keine Ahnung wie schΓΆn Schneeflocken sind!

schade das sie nicht ein bisschen grΓΆΓer sind damit man sie auch so sehen kann...

so this shot was taken with a regular macro lens? You didn't have a magnifier on it?? It's amazing!!

Yes, it was taken with a regular macro lens (the Raynox DCR-150, to be exact). Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it!

I was really surprised that you can take such pics of snowflakes using only a simple macro lense, too!

I wish it was, that it wouldn't have melted so fast.

they always do though, because they are best captured at slightly warmer temperature

Really? I'll have to remember that! It's a very good thing for me, since the winters here aren't very cold.

yes, apparently they are best captured at +3 degrees celsius, which also makes them melt. i know, we have pretty warm winters here too, snow maybe once or twice a year

We got some snow several days ago, but until I had camera and tripod and macro lens ready, there were only drops left to take photos of.

Oh wow!!! I didn't know snowflakes actually looked like that!! Everytime I see them, they are balls of fluff falling out of the sky XD.
I love this picture, and it's wonderful
