Snowflake Pictures

January 11th, 2009 Author: Steven

Lynne and I came home from shopping about 4 o’clock this afternoon and it was snowing lightly out. As we pulled into the drive I noticed that the flakes landing on the window of the truck were perfectly formed snowflakes and they were good sized ones too. Some of them were easily a 1/4 inch in diameter. I told Lynne that I thought I could get some pictures of them. Well, here they are.

These aren’t the most technically perfect shots I’ve ever taken, but it was cloudy, the sun was going down, and I was to lazy to set up the tripod so I shot them at 1600 ISO so I could hand hold the shots. But even though they are very noisy and some aren’t in the best of focus, I still think they came out pretty cool. I’m already thinking about ways that I can do a better job next time.

All of these have been zoomed and cropped in Photoshop. Also, they were all on the dirty, tinted windows of my truck. So please excuse the ugly backgrounds.
