We had a little dusting of snow this morning. I got these shots from a little pile on the top of a wooden fence just before they started to melt. Tiny flakes so I cropped these between 50-75%. D7000, 105 lens, full set Kenko extension tubes, SB-28 @ 1/8 power. After I downloaded these, I went out for a second try, but all the pretty ones had melted.

Nice to see snowflakes like this so I'm glad you are having a go. It is on my 'to try' list but at the moment we only have a little snow at the top of the mountains.

Brenda - It was fun! If you give it a try, I got these with the light source directly over the flakes.

I like the way these are piled up. Speaking of which, the last two look like they would stack nicely to get both top and bottom flakes in focus. :thumbup:

Stacking was the original plan. I'll try that later.

Second run. Tried waiting until a flake fell on something.

These are on a glass patio table. I could see these melting as I was shooting.

These are on a glove that I had in the freezer. The temps were getting warmer so most of the flakes were broken.

Very nice. Well done images. I went out in my yard this morning to see if I could duplicate your photos but alas, no snow. I doubt there has ever been snow in this part of California so I will have to look elsewhere.
