Thanks for your comment on my avocado pic! Yes, I did replace it for an apple core pic that was an embarrassment to humanity... Lol.

Hi Heathcliffe. You asked how I did that shot of the snowflakes, but I didn't see the comment at the time. Basically, I pu a black card on a tall kitchen stool to have the flakes show up. I put my tripod next to the stool, used a magnifying filter, a ring light, and a 28mm extension tube. I focused as close as I could get on the card. Then, I slid the card out from underneath and caught some snowflakes (it needs to be a slow, gentle snowfall) and then quickly slid the card back under the lens and quickly shot using a remote shutter release. You have to act fast as they melt quickly, but it was pretty fun seeing all the wonderful crystals that showed up. Good luck and have fun.
