I can only see the middle one. What material is the one I can see resting on ? Still impressed :)

Fliker links seem to be a little goofy

Very cool seeing the structures of these flakes up close. Nature never seizes to amaze me, as do photographers. Great work Ken!

Remarkable! I assumed these were decorations at first, rather than actual flakes. Great details Ken :)

Amazing. Just think how difficult this would have been once. I can imaging using flash to shoot a flake like this and vaporising it instantly during the exposure in the days of flashbulbs!

Of course the modern day lenses help and a little extra with a computer!

Thanks all. I just need to find a smoother background to use.

I knew snowflakes were supposed to be unique, but I had no idea there was so MUCH variety in style, but still keeping the same basic shape.

These are great photos!
Very enlightening.

Thanks,
Ron

All have a common Hexagonal shape. Reminds me of the pictures of Saturn and the pole has a hexagonal cloud shape. Makes me wonder........

Hi Ken, : )

What a series!
The second of the last post is so opaque and intact that it almost has a solid plastic quality by showing off all of its finest relief details.


Thanks for sharing. Each flake indeed is unique and beautiful.
