Description
This is best snowflake of hexagonal plate type that i've captured in winter 2013-2014. I like it's unusual structure: with "hightech" central hexagon and outer pattern with six marks, which reminds ancient runes. This mix of "ancient" and "futuristic" in single snow crystal looks strange, but really nice! And i was lucky with lighting of this pretty snowflake, so all details of it's internal structure are clearly visible.
This crystal was hard to process, however, because i've got only 4 identical RAW photos for averaging (my SD card was nearly full, when i saw this wonder on camera screen), and in close proximity with snowflake was piles of ice debris - this complicates background cleaning a lot. But this specimen definitely worth all the troubles.
This snow crystal was around 1,5 millimeters from tip to tip: quite large size for it's type. It was captured on large sheet of glass with multi-color LED back light, with Canon Powershot A650is and additional lens Helios 44M-5, reversely mounted in front of built-in camera optics. January 2014, Moscow, Russia.
If you are curious, i've processed this snowflake also in alternate colors (smooth blue / orangle gradient). You can find this version in galleries "All snowflakes" and "Bright snowflakes".
