That is such a bright blue, I like at your zoo.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat! I like the blue, too!
DeleteBeautiful images of the snowflakes. The dark lighting and blue gives these a particularly eerie quality that I like.
ReplyDeletePS: I answered your question about my WW photo :)
Thanks, Amanda! I'm always looking for new surfaces to catch snowflakes and not melt them too quickly. Blue glass was perfect for these shots, but I had to stick the dish in the freezer for a while first!
DeleteGorgeous! I love your photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Yulian! So awesome to hear from you again!
DeleteAwesome flake shots! Can you do that with lizard scales as well?
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!
DeleteI'm in love. Wish there was a like button Lee zard. I liked your comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Di! I think The Lizard laughed harder than I did at your comment on his comment!!!
DeleteHow was the 3rd one down done.
ReplyDeleteAll of them are with a macro extension tube on my macro lens, Di. All were shot on a blue glass plate fashioned for us by the husband of one of my co-workers. The third one down was before the glass got cold enough to preserve the snowflakes as I shot. The flake began melting right away, before I could focus. I think the texture of the glass shows in some of these photos.
DeleteI not too long ago found your site from a friend and love your patterns and photos of snowflakes!! I'm working on the Kings Cross one and was ecstatic when I got the first crown done, my husband looked at me like I was crazy! Do you have a pattern for a 7 sided snowflake? I remember reading that your mom liked them.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angela, and welcome! I had to giggle when I read your question about seven-point snowflakes. No, I've not written a pattern for one, but almost every snowflake may be made into a five-point star or a (choke) seven-point snowflake with minimal adjustments just by miscounting the number of points. King's Crown probably would take some adjustments to become a seven-pointer because it's so big, but any of the smaller ones probably could be converted very easily just by making seven points instead of six.
DeleteIncredible!!!!! I have extension tubes but I've never had your level of patience. You have inspired me (again)!
ReplyDeleteThanks, KB! I think we both do good job of inspiring each other!
DeleteIsn't it amazing the way they hold their shape as they melt? I'm loving this series of snowflake photos! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how they transform, melting slowly, Sue. It does give them different (inspiring!!!) designs!
