C'mon already ...
Lens: reversed Nikkor + tubes Camera: Pentax K5 Photo Location: Western New York ISO: 1600 Shutter Speed: 1/45s Aperture: F4.5

I was hoping to take pics of spring flowers, but Mother Nature had other plans. Started snowing today and the prediction is up to 8" of snow by morning. Hopefully these will be my last snowflake shots for a while. Good thing I procrastinate and still left the snowblower gassed up.

Taken with a reversed Nikkor enlarger lens and three extension tubes, all handheld, no flash.

Fascinating Ice Crystal pattern and the focus was spot on.

Oh, I'd hate to inconvenience you with the whole shipping rigamarole. . . Just email me a plane ticket and I'll come get my own.

But in the spirit of camaraderie and of "special relationships" across the puddle, I would be delighted to oblige you by sending you all of our snow... in exchange mind for some of your countries California style sunshine.

I figure if I ask enough of your countrymen eventually one of them will buckle.

Very well done considering the small area that is in focus you had to work with.
