My mother always said things come in three's. This was our third snow day of the school year today (and day #33 of the calendar year). I decided to head back out this morning to try for more macro snowflake shots, after my interest was piqued with those I took this last weekend. Lesson learned- this is much harder to do when it is snowing 1-3" per hour! Second lesson learned- cover the body of your camera with a gallon-sized ziploc to protect it from said deluge as well! It took me (you may have guessed it) three separate tries heading out with my tripod, macro lens, a black background before settling on this shot. I then processed in PSE9, adding a "signature" much like Shelley, Misty, and a few others. I'm not that bothered by a later date for the end of school; a snow day has always been, and will continue to be a gift!
