We've had pretty steady lake effect snow this week and last night for a
few hours I was able to catch it while it was producing well formed
single crystals. I stated out playing with the Q but when I saw that
there were some good subjects I switched over to the tried and true K-5
setup.

The setup was the K-5, ~200mm of tubes and extension (varies between
shots) and a reverse mounted Sigma 50mm EX macro. Lit with an AF360FGZ
in manual mode at 1/32 power. Exposure controlled via ISO on the camera
- these are mostly at ISO 100 with a couple at 80 and one at 200.
Thanks for looking!

PS: Regarding the Q... I found that the flash *can* be set to manual
mode provided that you set it to manual before mounting it on the
camera. Once mounted only P-TTL and SB are available. But if you turn on
the flash and set it to manual it will stay in manual until the flash is
powered off or the setting is changed.
