RV = Recreational Vehicle (Motorhome)

I would be very impressed if you could recognize an RV from a macro photo.

Here's where they were growing. On the side of this:

Yes, ice crystals!

That's right, I think I remember seeing a post from you that you only see snow/ice in your freezer. :lmao:

Those are great shots. Very well done. Did you use any kind of TCs, extension tubes, etc?

I started with a 105mm macro lens with a 1.4 TC but found I didn't need it. These were pretty big (compared to a snowflake) so I went with just the 105mm macro hand held with SB 600 flash. Losing the 1.4 TC gave me a little more DoF to work with also.

I went with the hand held approach because the sun was coming up and I figured they wouldn't be around much longer after that.


Thanks, Ralph
