My photos have been published by NASA ( first, second and third publications) Wall Street Journal, CNN, Daily Mail, The Week, Esquire, Fox News, NBC News, The Today show, USA Today, The Huffington Post, Discovery News, Wikipedia, used as illustrations in books and as music disk covers. My current workflow, started from initial stack processing and hand drawing precise isolation mask, now include many stages, it adaptive to different types of source photos, and evolved every year. From that storage, i constantly pick beautiful, interesting and unusual specimens, and process them for this collection. Today, my snowflake work become continuous process: each winter brings me lots of new photos, which have been added to my vast source archive. You'll find here more than 200 processed snowflake pictures. Lost for words, how many wonders i have seen in these source photos! But high quality photo processing of such small objects requires lots of time, patience and effort. It was amazing experience: seeing this all at big HD screen in full resolution. I've captured many thousands snowflakes during more than 10 past winters. Natural snow crystals, with all their beauty, amazing shapes, structures, uniqueness and unlimited diversity, one of most interesting objects for macro photography. Use one of Olympus’ creative Art Filters (available in current Olympus cameras as well as the O.I.Share App) to make a truly unique image or download the image to the computer for editing.My passion is taking macro photos of real snowflakes.Use the LCD screen to compose the image and then snap the shutter.Find a single snowflake that can be isolated as the subject.Don’t have the 60mm macro? Try using the M.Zuiko 12-50mm lens’ macro mode or even the MCON-P02 macro lens adapter. Set the lens to the 1:1 ratio (35mm equiv). For best results, use the M.Zuiko 60mm F2.8 Macro Lens.Need extra light? Add an external flash either on- or off-camera to create the desired effect. Nothing ruins a macro shot like inferior lighting or out-of-focus subject. Make sure your lighting is adequate and that you have a tripod.I like using darker material so the snowflakes stand out against it. Although I still prefer to use a window to capture snowflakes, you can also use a blanket or other piece of fabric that has been left in the cold to prevent too-fast melting.Feel free to edit them any way your heart desires. I added some additional color to my images to make the snowflakes pop, but that’s not necessary. After downloading the images to the computer, edit them to fit your style.In fact, I ended up with so many good images that picking the best was a challenge. The window is great for stabilizing your camera. The best part about using the window is you don’t suffer from camera shake.
