My first attempt at taking a photograph of a snowflake. I managed to capture the Snowflake's reflection.
Snowflakes, snowflakes... They are so small, but together they form snowdrifts and cover the surface of the ground and tree branches, beautifying the landscape in white. The snowflakes in this photo melted away, but during the weekend and the beginning of the week, there has been a new snow cover in the forests. Winter seems to have come. More snowflakes fly from the sky to the white cold ground.

👱♀️🎧 Little Snowflakes
As a christmas gift for myself, I bought a Kenko Extension tubes kit, I had in mind to take snowflakes macro.
There was no snow during holydays. Then it snowed only during night (which is really bad conditions : I had nothing good), then it snowed during day, but I was at work ... It was kind of frustrating.
In the end, some beautiful flakes fall last satruday, and the air was cold like -8° C. The begining of good conditions.
What a pain it was to get something satisfactory !! It's definetly the hardest thing I did so far with a camera ... I hope to get better shots in the future, but I got some many poor pictures before this one, that I am quite happy.
The difficulty is probably not in the shot itself, but in the understanding of snow and weather conditions : you really have to wait for good conditions, and you have to recognise what kind of snow create what kind of flakes ... you have to find a comfortable way to work, you have to keep your finger warm (in order to use them) ... and the hardest thing : you have to be patient till you have good conditions ...
But that's the kind of photography I like : when you have to catch the Kairos before it runs away ...
We had a dusting of snow last night..just enough to make me go out to find some snowflakes..it was very chilly but the wind had died down so it was perfect conditions to capture snowflake macros. Wish I had something to get me even closer!

“Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together.”
― Vesta M. Kelly
“Lives are snowflakes - unique in detail, forming patterns we have seen before, but as like one another as peas in a pod (and have you ever looked at peas in a pod? I mean, really looked at them? There's not a chance you'd mistake one for another, after a minute's close inspection.)”
― Neil Gaiman, American Gods
My first snowflake picture ヾ(≧∇≦*)ゝ
As well as the first snowfall of the season.
Taken at 5x with the Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash. Still getting the hang of these two, but the results are super rewarding!
The snow has finally arrived! It was so pretty to see the big snowflakes falling, but now that's enough till next year, lol! I wish =)

Can't BELIEVE it! I looked out this afternoon to see that it was SNOWING! Melting as fast as I could get my camera out and the tubes on! BUT I made a good go of it, I think! Supposed to be really cold here tonight, I think. :)

Some say it's not possible for a snowflake to develop twelve branches on it's own, some say it only occurs when two 6-sided snowflakes collide. I don't know the veracity of those claims, but I have read that that six-branched flakes comprise some 0.1% of all snowflakes, and twelve-sided are even rarer still. I've seen very, very few.
This flake's 'extra' six branches look to be almost identical to the rest of the branches, which leads me to think they were all formed at the same time. Nature won't tell, she keeps her secrets.
