Description

This is real snowflake: medium size stellar dendrite (around 5-6 millimeters from tip to tip), captured in January 2013.

This snow crystal is one of most beautiful stellar dendrites that i have captured previous winter, but it was hard to post-process, because i got problems with aligning serial shots (wind shifts and rotates this snowflake while i took series of photos). I like it's elegant structure and shape, especially arms with many small details: they remind me six swords, pointing inward.

8 identical RAW photos, captured as quick series, was averaged to boost signal-to-noise ratio of this picture. Background: black wool fabric, natural light from gray cloudy sky, camera Canon Powershot A650is, external optics Helios 44M-5.

This photo featured on cover of music disk Unicum by Draugh, composer from from Iquique, Chile.

Closeup snowflake pictures available for home decor, interior design and gifts as: stretched canvas prints, metal, acrylic, wood and framed prints, posters, greeting cards, phone cases for Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy, tote bags, t-shirts, carry-all pouches, coffee mugs, throw pillows, duvet covers, shower curtains, beach towels and portable battery chargers.
