@debbe behnke
sorry for responding earlier … i’ve not been seeing replies since just recently.

I used a lens that allows close-up focus. But I think you may be able to magnify a snowflake well with the 55-250 zoom, if you use a high ISO and plenty of illumination.

But seriously, i’m no expert … i just played around with my camera and got those results. The real expert is Tom Niziol , check out his website, http://www.buffaloflakes.com/

I am anxious to try this. I have a 18-55mm, 50mm lens and 55-250mm lens. will my 50mm lens work for this? that is what I’ll be trying first.

I was suggested this web site by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my difficulty. You are amazing! Thanks!

I started with the same route descussed here but quickly expanded my photography of snow flakes. With some very basic equipment, I am able to do a lot. These may not be the best snow crystal photos on the web, but I am pretty happy what I was able to do for the investement. Go to http://www.buffaloflakes.com or search for “Mother Nature’s Snow Flakes” on Facebook. Let me know what you think
