Snow Flake - the ones that fall from the sky ... by farmreporter

Snow Flake - the ones that fall from the sky ...

... and not the endearing term given to those who are overly sensitive!
I saw that April @aecasey has been posting snow flake pics in her project so I thought I would give it a go.
So, I checked out her exif info on her shots, did a quick Google research for a tutorial, and then headed outdoors with camera.
I ignored both the settings on April's shots and the recommendations on the tutorial (he said to shoot hand held and do focus stack)
This one was 1 to 2 mm from point to point.
It is no longer snowing and can hardly wait until it snows again to give it another try!
Wow

Lovely detail. But i can't figure out how can it be so big compared to the blades of grass. Or isn't that grass?

It's not grass, I put my black slipper on the deck railing and what you see is the fur around the opening of the slipper.

I would say it was 1 to 2 mm from point to point - definitely no bigger.

@farmreporter woweee!! Thank you . I'd never see it to point my camera at!!
January 12th, 2021  
Wow!

Great success, one of these days I'll try it.

Great shot. Definitely one on my bucket list. I have tried, and failed in the past, on the odd occasion we get the right kind of snow - i.e not wet and melting! I like your composition.

Brilliant.

Looks pretty effective!

Glad you are feeling well enough to do this...no idea how you get one flake...where are all the others????
January 12th, 2021  
That is awesome!

Actually - this was super easy to do for even me. I put my slipper on the deck railing as the snow was gently falling, then waited for good flakes to fall. I was lucky enough to get this one - and they fell far enough apart to get singles.
