Subject: PESO: Snowflake - Take 2.

Here's my second attempt at photographing snowflakes.
This time I just used my SMC 55mm F2 attached to my screwmount bellows, on my *ist-DS. The camera was again mounted on my Soligor macro fousing rail, which was in turn mounted on my tripod.
The snowflake was captured on a sheet of glass, and place over a plastic bucket with a flashlight inside it. I set up a card table outside my house to hold everything - to my neighbour's amusement.
I tried harder to ensure everything was parallel & in focus, and was rewarded with a much better image than last time. Unhappily the snow decided to stop falling very soon after I had everything set up so I only ended up with this one 'keeper'. I cropped and coloured the image in Photoshop.
Bring on the snow, I'm ready for it !!
