Settling...

Not something I'm crazy about...  But I just couldn't quite get the snowflake shot to work.  A couple of years ago, I had great luck with a snowflake and thought it was a breeze.  So, I'm either using the wrong technique these days or my eyesight is the culprit.  Unfortunately, I'm getting severely far sighted... this seems to be an issue even while searching for the perfect flake (step one), and of course, every step after that.  

My favorite thing to shoot would be insects.  It's winter time, so I don't have that option for many months yet.  But I sure hope that this isn't a sign that those macro shot will be harder as well.  Yikes.

Anyway, if you look closely, there is a pretty flake under the clumps of white.
