“The Snowflake” is finally complete. 2500 hours across 5 years, this poster print represents that largest project I have ever undertaken. Depicted in this image is over 400 unique snowflakes, all accurately measured and scaled to that they are all in relative size to one another. The poster print is currently available for pre-order shipping in January, but I have “artist’s proofs” available right now that I’ll be shipping as the orders are placed. Take a look! skycrystals.ca/poster/
On average, 40 separate images are combined for each snowflake photograph. This is required to get the crystal in focus from tip to tip with a process called focus-stacking. Due to the nature of the subject and the hand-held approach to photographing each snowflake, 4-5 hours are spent on each image in post-processing.
Measuring snowflakes is a time-consuming task, and the right equipment is needed to get accurate results. Thankfully, a hidden piece of metadata recorded by the Canon MP-E 65mm F/2.8 1-5x Macro lens makes this possible: the magnification factor. Combined with the physical size of the sensor and the total number of pixels across the sensor, an algebraic equation allows us to calculate the number of pixels per millimeter and measure the crystals.
The process of measuring snowflakes is made more difficult by the removal of certain metadata when editing. The “magnification factor” value is stored in a special area of image metadata called “makernotes”, and can be extracted by tools such as exiftool. This special section of metadata is removed from the file when processed through any Adobe software (and I’m sure others), requiring me to revisit the original raw files for each snowflake to obtain the proper value.
The largest snowflakes measure just over 11mm in diameter, and the smallest are 0.2mm across. Different storms create different kinds of crystals, some symmetrical but always unique. No two snowflakes falling from the sky will ever be identical. This poster shows the beauty in their variety.
This print not only shows the beauty of winter, but it’s an eye-opening experience when you dive into the details. The working file on my computer is 12 gigapixels in size, so I could theoretically make 60” x 90” print at 480dpi if I wanted, losing no detail in the process. When working on the file, my computer uses over 100GB of RAM, so creating something like this required impressive technology to boot.
Five years of photographing snowflakes, all with the same technique. I knew there was a reason why, and here it is: “The Snowflake”. Please let me know your thoughts!
La couleur de la mer, la couleur des rochers, les îles dans le lointain, les voiles, la forme des nuages, le splash sur la tourelle.
(français simple) C'est une installation artistique au musée de Nantes. Le nom de l'artiste est Susanna FRITSCHER. Le nom de l'œuvre est « Nur mit Luft, mit Licht und Zeit ». L'œuvre est un labyrinthe. Le labyrinthe est fait avec des fils en silicone. La vue des personnes est changée dans le labyrinthe. Les fils de silicone changent la perception visuelle.
This is, by far, the most scenic outhouse I’ve ever encountered.
This is a panorama of 9 shots but cropped quite a bit down from there. Nikon Z6 with Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S lens @ 14mm, f/2.8, ISO 3200, 20 seconds for all shots. I didn’t need a separate foreground pano because there was plenty of ambient light from the lighthouse and town behind me.
The raw files were converted to DNG files and then their built-in lens profiles stripped (using exiftool) to get around a limitation in Lightroom that forces built-in profiles to be applied on some camera models (apparently this isn’t an issue with newer cameras supported by Lightroom), which results in banding issues due to the sub-par warping used to correct distortion in Lightroom. Removing these profiles gets rid of this issue, more information about that is in my book, “Night Sky Photography”. You can also edit the files in a raw converter that lets you disable the profiles, like Capture One, which I sometimes do. After basic editing to manually remove lens vignetting, white balance, etc, I then exported the images to 16-bit ProPhoto RGB TIFF files for processing in PTGui to generate the pano, then creative edits in Photoshop to bring out the details.

La couleur de la lumière du soir, le mouvement suspendu du gamin qui saute, l'écume des vagues, la couleur du sable.
Attulus terebratus jumping spiders are small. Males like this one are about 4 mm / .16" in body length so higher magnification is certainly useful.
This shot was taken using the Canon MP-E65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro lens set to 3.9:1 magnification.
The reason I know the exact level of magnification is that the lens actually stores the level of magnification in the photo's EXIF information. Photoshop/Lightroom/Bridge don't access this info so once edited, the level info is gone, but if I use EXIFTool on the original file (RAW or JPEG), it can display the mag for me.
One of cold morning i took my camera on walk with my dog around railway tracks close to me. Nice depressive weather and nothing to see far away like we can not see our future.
I love this shot but for me is showing big problem with my camera what i must solve, its focused to different point on ground glass.
Shoted with my Large format Camera Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic on film Foma Fomapan 100 in format 4x5 and developed in Foma Fomadon R09. Scan with Canon Canoscan 9950F in original film holder, EXIF information added from ExifNotes via ExifTool Development details on FilmDev

I love film photography most. I started to shoot on the film when i was 12 yo. after my high school I photographed on digital and in 2020 i came back to the film. In two year i spread my point of view to film and raised my family size to medium format 6x6 and 4.5x6 and finaly in 2022 i juped to do Large format 4x5.
