I tried honing in on a new technique. Definitely an improvement on my past attempts with my 50mm lens reversed.

Wow, looks great. Did lake Erie help the shaping?

Chris

It sure did. Isn't lake effect fun?

Thank you.

The new technique was putting a black carpeted car mat under the glass table that I use to hold the snowflakes. I also added an off camera flash and varied the distance to get the exposure I wanted.

Other than that, I'm still using the same basic equipment and setup as described in my thread Buffalo Snowflakes last year.
