FocalFrenzy,

Just an aside, from earlier attempts: using a frozen dinner (turned upside-down for black flat surface) to catch some fresh falling flakes seemed to work.

You've managed to pull a few snickers out of me, as well and a chuckle or two.

FocalFrenzy,

Might be close to something. Today's snow was the best so far, in terms of shape and separateness. These are two one-handheld outdoor shots:

Sandie, Welcome

and be inspired: that's how FocalFrenzy's work got me outside with numb fingers trying to catch a photo before ice melts. Not expensive, no new equipment, nothing MacGuyveresque. Give it a shot!

Closer . . .

Jiminy, These are great. Can youshare your set-up, other than the frozen entree container? (That was really cool BTW) Thanks for the tip. The snow we got here was more sleet like. Kind of rounded with no noticeable crystal patterns. I'm hoping for better flakes tomorrow. Thanks for posting these.
