K-3 and Sigma 70 macro
ƒ stops from 5.6 but most at ƒ16, ISO 100, two second delay and shutter lock up

The conditions of these pictures seems to be the weather has to be warm, and then a sudden freeze, yesterday was reasonably close to -8, then dropped to -27 overnight, perfect for ice crystals on our bed room window. Last time I had many images ruined by shallow DoF, this time taking everything from ƒ5.6 to ƒ 22 I got decent images from each set.

When you have a whole window of ice crystals, you could photograph them for hour too.
