B-L-E-S-S you, Mum!

For the appreciation, and for showing this thread still works.

Still handheld, loupe on Fuji S3100, flake on glass held horizontally towards sky.

ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/300th second

Great images Jiminy. We've had more snow this year than I can remember. Unfortunately, we've had more high winds too. All of our snowflakes seem to be pounded to bits before they ever hit the ground. It's awfully frustrating. I'm still hopeful (as we usually get a little snow through mid April), of getting to contribute more to this thread. Thanks for keeping it alive.

FocalFrenzy, Thanks

Several good mornings in the 20's have produced good examples. I have an area on a porch that is partially shielded from wind, so I can stick the glass out past the roof, collect and pull them back into the sheltered area. A picture frame around the glass helps; makes it easier to handle, too.

And:

Jiminy, I really like the first one. It looks like Chinese "Good Fortune" characters on the points. Great work!

FocalFrenzy, Thanks

I'm starting to see how a person could spend a lifetime doing this, cataloging, categorizing. There are definite "types" that are recognizable, and still unique.

Canadian Mum, Thanks again

You can do this almost without leaving your home, if you have a porch. I do about 5 minutes at a time, going back inside to get feeling back in my fingertips. Also seems less likely camera problems will occur (so far, no condensation or sluggish operation) with short exposure to 5 degrees.
