How were you able to magnify the snow crystals? Did you use macro focus or a microscope? Living in a country where the winters are mild and wet, I appreciate the times I got to see snow in the past. The closest thing to snow we get over here in ‘down under’ is hailstones or frost.
I use a combination of extension tubes, lens stacking, and reversed lens techniques. (Actually, I’m using different lenses now, but the principle is the same.)
I’ve written on this forum about snowflakes last year: https://www.lenspiration.com/forums/topic/snowflakes/ and here: https://www.lenspiration.com/forums/topic/let-it-snow/
