Nature help me ... I'm melting ...

help me ... I'm melting ... · **1 Like**

Looked like a perfect day to try some snowflake pics. Nice gentle snowfall, no wind ... but the temperature was hovering around freezing at 32*F.
I saw that the flakes were somewhat "icy" looking and would melt quickly after making contact on an old fleece jacket that I leave in the garage for this purpose. So, I ended up with a different look than I anticipated but still got a chance to work on my technique.

All the shots are handheld, no flash, and taken with a 50mm reverse mounted Nikkor enlarging lens on three extension tubes. PP using ACR, and Topaz Detail.

Melting or not, you really captured some great shots!

You really know what you are doing with that camera. Nice!

Right at the melting point - frankly, I think this state makes the melting flakes particularly interesting and visually compelling. Great job!!

Wonder full captures you would think I would have tried this by now with all the snow we get.

Nice ones. Still lots of detail left in the flakes.
