Macro Monday 12/7: Snow Crystals and Geometry

Written by Jackie D'Elia  |  Published on December 7, 2009

With the very rare event of snow in Houston this week, I found the snow on the edge of my raised beds the perfect spot to explore the structure of these ice crystals upclose. Watch as these macro shots zoom in on the very building blocks of these geometric marvels.

    Great photos of the snow crystals! We had our first dusting of snow this morning, but it’s not a rarity here like it is in your neck of the woods.

    Stunning shots, especially that last one! You have inspired me. Next time we have a hard frost, I’ll be out there with my camera trying for close-ups! 🙂

    Your photos are awesome! I like how you got closer and closer.

    I wasn’t able to take photos of the snow today, because I couldn’t find either of my memory cards. We have tomorrow off because of all the snow we are getting. I hope to find my cards and reader tomorrow.

    Hi Jackie

    If I have an image of Texas it’s heat and endless blue skies, not snow and ice!

    You asked about which camera I use on my blog, well it’s a Lumix G1 and I’m pleased with it. I generally shoot in Intelligent auto and tweak a bit on Picassa.

    cheers
    Rob
