All were shot with my reverse 50 setup. All are stacks of 3-6 images.

    Thanks Phil!

    I shot them on my bedroom windows. They were taken during one of our many snowstorms this past Winter. They would land and stick to the window and I had about 15-25 seconds before they would melt.

    Thank you Lisa! Check my reply to Phil for my setup. Here is a picture of my rig and me using it. (on a Spider, not the Snowflakes)

    I really like the composition of #5 but the colours [and the snowflake] of #6. I never knew that's how that was done.
    Snowflakes are crazy. Such itsy bitsy things and yet little pieces of overcomplicated, perfectly symmetrical blips of H20. Wonder of wonders.
