This “stellar sectored plate split crystal” is a great example of the trouble classifying snowflakes into different types. They often overlap and various unusual features can combine to create snowflakes that don’t match a specific definition. View large! (Press the "L" key to view in Lightbox mode)
Here’s the snowflake history/science lesson:
- This crystal began as a column, which quickly transitioned to plate growth based on environmental variables.
- When competing for water vapour, some corners of these two plates will grow slightly faster, and then accelerate their growth exponentially when they reach beyond the edge of the rival corner. Each plate “won” three corners here.
- The resulting structure grew as branches, but these branches were growing so broadly that they recombined into a new (and much larger) plate design.
- When this plate had formed, the branching process began again, creating the stellar branches that extend outward.
- Because the growth appears to be fairly stable, many of these side-branches have very similar features.
It’s interesting to note that the ridges and ribs (surface features of the snowflake) appear facing the camera on the bottom half of the snowflake, but are forming on the opposite side of the crystal on the top half. These surface details are almost always present on snowflakes, and never seem to form on both sides at the same time. They pick a side and usually stick with it, so sometimes flipping a snowflake over will yield a better photograph.
When making these images, many things are considered. The side of the snowflake and the angle of the crystal (which can create bright surface reflections), the background and isolating a single snowflake, and of course the post-processing workflow. This is the 90th image in this year’s series, and the 390th since I began my Snowflake-a-Day project a few years ago. I’m working to create a library of work for larger projects as well, which I’ll be exploring over the summer… so I need a certain level of consistency in these shots to make everything come together in the end. :)
If you’d like to photograph your own snowflakes and enjoy the exploration that it provides a curious mind, you need a copy of Sky Crystals in your hands: www.skycrystals.ca/ . 304pg hardcover book that details equally the physics of these crystals and the techniques I use to photograph them, including a comprehensive post-processing workflow.
I’ve got a special promotion right now that will let you buy a book and give a second copy to a library. Just add two copies of the book to your cart and use the coupon code “library” on checkout. It’ll discount $44.99 off of your order, giving you the second book for free… so long as you promise me that your free copy will end up in a library for students or the general population to enjoy. These free books might have a slight defect (cover scuffs or creases, or a mark on the end pages, etc.) that I’ve set aside over the past year… I wouldn’t sell them with slight flaws, but they’d be a perfect addition to any library. Help me make that happen!

Not sure whether this will interest any of you or not, but just felt like sharing some of my thoughts through the post-processing stage of photography as have been getting a few emails from people lately about this.
The key to any post-processing is a good canvas on which to start from - this means you need to get it as "right" as you can in camera. Of course, using RAW formats make this a lot more forgiving, but I still believe it's a good thing to aim for! The less post-processing you do, the better quality your photo is also. Of course, that also depends on how creative you want to get. I'm not saying my images are anywhere near "right" in camera - actually I think there's still a long way for me to go there and I do get lazy quite often! It's still something I try to aim for anyway. Composition's probably the one thing you can't get away so easily with being lazy on :)
Left to Right, the top photograph is the original RAW photo without any adjustments. In my opinion (for what I like) the photo is flat and there's very little contrast between the bamboo and the middle tree, which is something I wanted to highlight, as when I was there, it's what struck me the most about the scene. The photo on the right was my first attempt at post-processing this image and I didn't like it. The colours just didn't do it for me, and the more I did, the worse it got! I also felt it was all too busy as the bamboo is a very strong feature with too much detail. The image just feels a bit uninteresting - there's nothing in particular that intrigues the viewer. I decided to leave the image and come back to it later, starting again from scratch.
The bottom two images are the ones I've posted on this photostream. The B&W attempt was born out of having been so disappointed with my first colour attempt. I felt I needed to just try something completely different as wasn't sure how to make the most of the bamboo without it being totally overpowering. I think this B&W stage helped me reorganise and refresh my outlook on processing a colour version (I find B&W tends to do that, for me at least). The final colour image is what I've finished with - it's not as "realistic" as it could maybe have been, but I've decided that this interpretation gives the effect I wanted. For me, it's intriguing and enchanting, which is honestly what I felt, being there (even though it didn't exactly look like that!). This image ended up being a lot more complex to process than I first thought - probably a lot to do with the weird lighting the bamboo gives, and the texture of it.

Discover My New Portrait Editing Workflow!
In this series, I’m sharing the before and after of my portraits to show how my editing process has evolved.
The RAW photo: I always start with a clean, well-lit image to have a solid base.
Editing with Evoto AI: Then I use Evoto to refine the skin naturally and efficiently, preserving texture and authenticity.
Final touches in Photoshop: Finally, I make color adjustments and fine-tune the look for a harmonious result.
If you’d like to learn more about my experience with Evoto, you can read the full article on my blog.
I hope this inspires you and gives you new ideas for your own portrait retouching!

The fact an SVG image is an xml document comes handy. In the past our workflow has been defined by the icon theme spec. We worked on individual files for every icon size. That becomes problematic when you tweak an aspect of an icon and you have to keep the change in sync with the other versions (It shows itself in the tango-icon-theme emoticons, where you have clearly different colors between the various sizes).
During the suse hackweek I've cooked up a php script that would take a two-layer SVG, where in one layer there would be rectangles defining the size and the other the actual artwork and call inkscape to render the objects into PNGs.
And since I'm now working in a team that deals with ROR a lot, I've found a scripting language that I very much like, ruby. I'm no hacker, but man do I love the simplicity of it.

Posted for Forum use. As adding to productivity for my kind of workflow in Windows 7 that I have in Linux.
With Dexpot for Virtual Workspaces. Having 6-8 apps open on 4 different desktops and a mouse wheel to switch makes for quick work.
And Winroll allows me to right click titlebar and roll up app into titlebar. Also know as shades. Allowing room for other apps that may be behind it.
