Snow flakes trapped in the web. These are very small and you can judge the size from the spiders silk.

Last is my favourite because I like the way its caught the light.
Really like the shape of #2 though .... well worth freezing your bits off for!

Hi Alby

Gorgeous, all of them

[Toothie]

I prefer theses to your other snow Flakes Alby, there apears to be less cluttler around the flakes and a better dof

 

[boozybill]

Amazing Alby #2 for me

 

[Jonmurgie]

Never thought of trying macro's on snow... now where are my extension tubes...

[jennyb]

These are fantastic! You mentioned which camera you were using but not the lenses? What set up do you need to take photos like these?

Thanks for looking folks, much appreciated
Jenny, I used the Canon 350d and mp-e 65 with MT 24 ex macro twin lite for the first 3 and the Panasonic fz8 prosumer with a Raynox msn202 closeup lens and on board flash for the last one.

 

[jennyb]

Thanks, Alby. Those lenses are obviously very effective but do you have a problem having to get so close when taking photos of insects (I looked at your Flickr site - great stuff)?

Some insects can be a little tricky but with practise it's not too difficult. The trick is to photograph them early in the morning when they are still cold.

 

[Amirah]

Absolutly stunning shots!

 

[Justin]

Wow, absolutely blown away by these shots Alby, I don't think I've ever seen a snowflake in such detail. Incredible.

 

[Woodsy]

Jesus H. These are outstanding! You seriously are a gifted macro photographer. Absolutely stunning work fella.
