Snowflake macro: cloud number nine by chaoticmind75

Still, i have not captured really interesting new crystals: this winter starts not too good for snowflake photography in Moscow (when it's cold, there is almost no snow; when there is snow, it's too warm and it melts quickly). But one day i captured some big fernlike dendrites like this crystal. I tried slightly different shooting: snowflake stands on it's edge on DVD-R disk surface, relying on the other crystal. I transferred both with small paintbrush, and used wooden toothpick to make one crystal stand vertically. Background is blue paper, 10 shots averaged. More snowflakes in album snowflakes and snow crystals. Also i wrote small article about my shooting technique. via 500px http://ift.tt/1zkfzEZ
