February Snow

February is coming to a close and with it the 2014/15 snowflake photography season starts to wind down. Ironically I've had few opportunities to photograph snowflakes in the past few weeks not because winter is fading and things are warming up, but rather because it is so cold that Lake Michigan has almost completely frozen over. As the ice cover grows on the lake there is less lake effect snow.

I've been photographing snowflakes at this location for some time now, and if past experience is a guide there are just 2-3 weeks left to the snowflake season....

And I'm not complaining about that!

These were all quite small - Pentax K-3, DFA 50mm lens reverse mounted on 250-350mm of extension (usually on the longer end of that range.)
