That's just lovely.

Up till now the latest I ever got a snow crystal here was 2/12. I only had a short window between the start of snowfall and the time when temps got above freezing, but managed to snag a couple of keepers. The best from this morning:

Still working on improvements to the lighting.
Technical details: *ist-D, Sigma 50mm f2.8 macro reverse mounted on bellows, two sets of extension tubes, AF360FGZ flash, clear report cover (for the blue tint), piece of glass to hold the flake, BBC on the radio. Shot in RAW mode - I just noticed I forgot to touch up the sensor scratch that appears in all these shots (has since the camera was brand new). I never see it in regular shots, not matter how much I stop down or blas light at the camera.

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
