    Default Snowflakes



    This was captured from my bedroom window during a snowfall. I used the Canon 1D Mark II N to the body was attached 3 extension tubes, then a Sigma 150 Macro lens attached to the tubes, then a Canon 50/1.8 reversed on the front of the Sigma.

    Handheld. Almost full frame. 5 separate images stacked using CombineZM to gain more DOF.

    Jody,

    This is a gorgeous image. I love the contrast which really brings out the details.

    All that work paid off a wonderful image.

    Very nice I like the subject and the cool 2 tone background.

    One thing stands out to me, other than the image is great, is the flakes are leaning to the left quite a bit, its a little distracting.

    I like this image a lot. The almost metallic sheen it has is very striking.

    Hey Jody, very well done. I like the comp with the two flakes balancing on each side. The image has a lot of negative space and a little tighter crop would be nice.

    Wow, extraordinary image, I love the detail and how it is sharp but not too sharp.

    Incredible technique. 5 shots handheld and meged with that combination? Pretty steady hands you have.
    It's very pretty and I agree about the slight tilt making it seem a bit off.
