I have been trying to get a good snowflake shot ever since I got the macro lens last year, it took me this long to finally get one I am happy with.

I know, I was so excited when I saw the one had actually landed like that, then I had to be really careful not to breathe on it. |

Great shot Lori ! It's so neat that it is on it's side like that.
I have a snowflake too.
The plastic variety.
Anyway, it is sparkly so into the lot it goes.

My daughter made this Star for her 3D ART Class.. We needed a new one for the tree anyway .. She pressed the metal out and used a tool and put all kinds of diferent shapes in it.  |

Thank you for choosing me and for all the nice comments.
For those wanting to know how I got it, well...it wasn't easy and it took me awhile. I waited until the snow had almost stopped and was just blowing around. Then I put the blanket out on the banister of my porch and kept checking for any real snowflakes and not just the clumps. I took shots of 3 that had landed flat, then went to shovel, and when I came back up on the porch I noticed that this one had landed straight up, I ran in and grabbed my camera, with the Tamron 90 macro attached, you have to use a macro for snowflakes. Even with the macro it took me several attempts to get it, and this is cropped as well, because it was a tiny snowflake. Honestly, you just have to have a lot of patience and persistence to work with snowflakes.
I need to think on what I'm gonna choose, so I'll get the next challenge up by the end of the weekend. Thank you all again |

Patience really is an important 'skill' for photography. | |
