Like so many other people in Ontario & New York we got hammered by the recent winter storm. Happily our area didn't get too much snow, just a lot of blowing and drifting, but I'm sure that was cold comfort to all the folks affected by the numerous collisions and road closures.
It did however give me a chance to get started again on shooting snowflakes (in between shoveling them).

For this year I came up with a method of attaching a microscope turret to my bellows with 4X, 10X, 20X & 40X microscope objectives attached. That way I can quickly alter my magnification without disturbing my specimen. Details of my setup and equipment is over on Flickr

It seems to be working at present, although at 40X the DOF is very small even for snowflakes.
Anyway, hope you like them and be sure to give this post a thumbs up
