Probably one of the prettiest snow flakes I have photographed in the past 3 years. This was nearing the end of the snowstorm that occurred last week. It was about 5mm in diameter, which was relatively large as far as snow flakes go. There was one tip I could not get a sharp capture on. Out of the 46 frames taken of this version, only 10 were used for the final focus stack sequence.
It was difficult to hold the position achieving the coloured reflections and move the camera to get the snowflake in focus due to the shallow depth of field.
This looked good in B&W, but this time the coloured version definitely was better.
