Re: Under the microscope (For Mark C.)
Hi Igor - Thanks for pointing out that gallery - I was out of town till late last night and have been off the PDML for a few days. Some other folks do really incredible work with a microscope and snow crystals and I've been tempted to try it - really would be the ultimate in macro work. But that's one project that is still pending...

It's indeed a micrscope. You can see the last three photos showing the setup. I suspect the setup might be responsible for some uneven focus over the field of view. It looks like the DOF is very shallow.

Re: Under the microscope (For Mark C.)
Mark, Your snowflakes are a lot prettier and more accomplished looking. These Weather Channel shots make me really appreciate yours! It's a simple idea, but the beauty is in the execution of it. Have you still got a book of these shots out somewhere? Regards, Bob S.

Re: Under the microscope (For Mark C.)
Mark's are better by far. The photog may be a professor, but he needs some lessons in snowflake photography. : ) -p On 3/7/2013 10:33 AM, Igor Roshchin wrote: I saw this gallery of snowflakes on weather.com this morning and thought that overall Mark's photos are much better. http://www.weather.com/news/science/snowflakes-under-microscope-20130306 What is interesting is the technique used in that case.
